Identifying the hub genes for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy by weighted correlation network analysis

BMC Genomic Data, 2021
The goal of this study is to identify the hub genes for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) via weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). The gene expression profile of vastus lateralis biopsy samples obtained in 17

Rimmed vacuoles in Becker muscular dystrophy have similar features with inclusion myopathies.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Rimmed vacuoles in myofibers are thought to be due to the accumulation of autophagic vacuoles, and can be characteristic in certain myopathies with protein inclusions in myofibers.
