WBMRI in LGMDR1 allows a global patient evaluation including involvement of the paraspinal muscles, usually an underestimated feature in the clinical and imaging study of myopathies. Knowledge of the WBMRI pattern of LGMDR1 involvement can be useful in the diagnostic approach and in future studies to identify the best target muscles to serve as outcome measures in clinical trials.
