Despite advances in understanding the pathophysiology of FKRP-associated myopathies, clinical research in the limb-girdle muscular dystrophies has been limited by the lack of normative biomarker data to gauge disease progression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants in a phase 2 clinical trial were evaluated over a 4-month, untreated lead-in period to evaluate repeatability and to obtain normative data for timed function tests, strength tests, pulmonary function, and body composition using DEXA and whole-body MRI. Novel deep learning algorithms were used to analyze MRI scans and quantify muscle, fat, and intramuscular fat infiltration in the thighs. T-tests and signed rank tests were used to assess changes in these outcome measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nineteen participants were observed during the lead-in period for this trial. No significant changes were noted in the strength, pulmonary function, or body composition outcome measures over the 4-month observation period. One timed function measure, the 4-stair climb, showed a statistically significant difference over the observation period. Quantitative estimates of muscle, fat, and intramuscular fat infiltration from whole-body MRI corresponded significantly with DEXA estimates of body composition, strength, and timed function measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We describe normative data and repeatability performance for multiple physical function measures in an adult FKRP muscular dystrophy population.
