Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders. We previously localized an autosomal dominant form of the disorder (LGMD1A) to chromosome 5q22-31 by linkage analysis in a single large pedigree. After developing a microsatellite genetic map incorporating six loci in q31-33 of chromosome 5 and spanning 35 cM, we have refined the original localization. Using multipoint analysis, LGMD1A is localised to a 7 cM region between the markers IL9 and D5S178 with odds > 1000:1.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 June 2016.
All research outputs
#4,979,524
of 33,704,742 outputs
Outputs from Neuromuscular Disorders
#220
of 2,273 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,773
of 29,737 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neuromuscular Disorders
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,704,742 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,273 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 29,737 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
