Longitudinal Study of Three microRNAs in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Our objective was to investigate the potential of three microRNAs, miR-181a-5p, miR-30c-5p, and miR-206 as prognostic biomarkers for long-term follow up of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients.

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from a Becker muscular dystrophy patient carrying a deletion of exons 45-55 of the dystrophin gene (CCMi002BMD-A-9 ∆45-55)

Stem Cell Research, 2018
Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a dystrophinopathy caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene on chromosome Xp21. BMD mutations result in truncated semi-functional dystrophin isoforms.

Genetic diagnosis as a tool for personalized treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2016
Accurate definition of genetic mutations causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has always been relevant in order to provide genetic counseling to patients and families, and helps to establish the prognosis in the case where the distinction between ...

Diaphragm‐specific effects of L‐citrulline in mdx mice highlight its potential as adjuvant of standard therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The absence of the protein dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) leads to progressive muscle weakness, failing regeneration and deregulation of nitric oxide (NO) signalling. We focused on L‐citrulline, a precursor of L‐arginine, required for NO production in muscle, which is reduced in dystrophic mdx muscle ...

Whole Exome Sequencing for Romanian Patients With Neurodevelopmental Disorders Through an International Collaboration

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Whole exome sequencing for Romanian patients with neurodevelopmental disorders through an international collaboration—this study has provided a 50% diagnostic yield for patients with NDDs (27 positive results from 54 patients), supporting the implementation of a WES analysis that can identify SNVs, small INDELs, CNVs, and mitochondrial variants ...

The Molecular Diagnosis of Myopathies: Integrating Genomic, Proteomic, and Pathological Insights Toward Precision Medicine

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Advances in genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic technologies are transforming the diagnosis of genetic myopathies. When integrated with traditional muscle pathology, multi‐omics approaches improve diagnostic yield, clarify disease mechanisms, and support more precise, mechanism‐based therapeutic strategies for patients with neuromuscular disorders ...

Serum Transaminase in Duchenne Dystrophy

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2011
Researchers at Children’s Hospital Boston, MA, have shown a linear relationship between serum CPK and serum ALT and AST and a logarithmic relationship between serum enzyme levels and age for boys with Duchenne (n=46) or Becker (n=9) muscular dystrophy ...

Oxidative stress in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: focus on the NRF2 redox pathway [PDF]

, 2017
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene and characterized by progressive, lethal muscle degeneration and chronic inflammation.

Screening for brain‐related comorbidities in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Construction, reliability, and validity of the BIND screener

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
The Brain Involvement iN Dystrophinopathies (BIND) screener is an 18‐item questionnaire with strong reliability and validity for identifying potential brain‐related comorbidities in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It allows rapid, cross‐age and cross‐country screening for both clinical and research purposes, demonstrating good sensitivity and specificity.
