The virtual FDA Listening Session on Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophies was held October 20, 2020. This was a patient-led listening session organized by a group of advocacy organizations focused on various aspects and genetic subtypes of LGMD. Fifteen presenters, all patients or family members representing twelve different LGMD subtypes, gave presentations in a webinar format which included personal narratives, slide presentations, and videos.  Download the full summary to read all that was shared by individuals living with LGMD.

The LGMD Listening Session was planned and organized by a consortium of advocacy organizations, focused either on raising awareness or assisting patients living with LGMD and related neuromuscular diseases, or on achieving clinical trial readiness and developing treatments for particular genetic subtypes of LGMD.
