Despite the widespread use of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) measurements with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to track disease progression in muscle disorders, it is still unclear how these findings relate to histopathological changes in muscle biopsies of patients with limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy autosomal recessive type 12 (LGMDR12). Furthermore, although it is known that LGMDR12 leads to a selective muscle involvement distinct from other muscular dystrophies, the spatial distribution of fat replacement within these muscles is unknown.
