Autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD1G) is a mild subtype of autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy characterized by a typically adult onset of mild, progressive, proximal weakness of pelvic and shoulder girdle muscles and progressive, permanent finger and toes flexion limitation without flexion contractures. Normal to highly elevated creatine kinase serum levels are observed.

HNRNPDL encodes heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D like (420 aa). Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Promotes transcription repression. Promotes transcription activation in differentiated myotubes. Binds to double- and single-stranded DNA sequences. Highest expression in Ovary (308.8 TPM) and Uterus (294.6 TPM).
Autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1G is associated with mutations in the HNRNPDL gene on chromosome 4.
The HNRNPDL protein participates in Expression of Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D-like and Gene and protein expression by JAK-STAT signaling after Interleukin-12 stimulation pathways.
HNRNPDL is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for HNRNPDL is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
