Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the sarcoglycan, delta (35kDa dystrophin-associated glycoprotein) (SGCD) gene, located at chromosome 5q33-q34, which encodes for part of a multisubunit protein complex that forms a link between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. The protein encoded by this gene is expressed most often in skeletal and cardiac muscle. This genetic mutation has been identified in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy type 1L and muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle type 2F.
