More information


The Global FKRP Registry is for patients with conditions caused by a mutation in the FKRP* gene. This mutation causes Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2I (LGMD2I) and the rare conditions:

  • Congenital Muscular Dystrophy type 1C
  • Muscle Eye Brain Disease
  • Walker-Warburg Syndrome

The Registry aims to:

  • Help recruitment into clinical trials by identifying patients more readily
  • Speed up research
  • Provide more knowledge about the natural history and commonness of FKRP-related disorders
  • Keep patients informed

The Registry was set-up in 2011 as an online patient driven registry. It is currently supported by the LGMD2I Research Fund.
