Several variants in the last exon of the TTN gene have been reported, one of which was associated with LGMD2J. Besides, LGMD2J should be distinguished from other myopathies caused by mutations in the TTN gene. The pathogenesis of and specific curative methods for LGMD2J remain to be further elucidated.
