Epidemiology and genetics of calpainopathy in Croatia

open access: yesRevue Neurologique, 2004
A 3-year long pilot study concerning aetiology and epidemiology of muscular dystrophy in Croatia had showed that calpainopathy (LGMD2A) was the prevalent autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy in Croatia. Analysis of 50 chromosomes for five CAPN3 mutations (550delA, DFWSAL, R541W, Y357X and R49H) combined with a specific clinical diagnostic strategy ...

A case of pseudodominant inheritance of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene

open access: yesАнналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2021
Introduction. Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) includes more than 30 forms caused by mutations in genes located on autosomes. The most common form is calpain-3-related LGMD, with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern (OMIM 253600).

Systemic delivery of AAVrh74.tMCK.hCAPN3 rescues the phenotype in a mouse model for LGMD2A/R1

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2A/R1, caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene and CAPN3 loss of function, is known to play a role in disease pathogenicity.

Myositis mimics

open access: yesIndian Journal of Rheumatology, 2021
Proximal muscle weakness in children, as well as adults, can be the presenting feature of a wide range of diseases including but not limited to the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, muscle dystrophies, metabolic, endocrine, and drug-induced myopathies.

Current and Future Therapeutic Strategies for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type R1: Clinical and Experimental Approaches

open access: yesPathophysiology, 2021
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R1 disease is a progressive disease that is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene and involves the extremity muscles of the hip and shoulder girdle. The CAPN3 protein has proteolytic and non-proteolytic properties. The

Developing fluorescence sensor probe to capture activated muscle-specific calpain-3 (CAPN3) in living muscle cells

open access: yesBiology Open, 2020
Calpain-3 (CAPN3) is a muscle-specific type of calpain whose protease activity is triggered by Ca2+. Here, we developed CAPN3 sensor probes (SPs) to detect activated-CAPN3 using a fluorescence/Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique.

Calpainopathy with macrophage-rich, regional inflammatory infiltrates [PDF]

open access: yesNeuromuscular Disorders, 2017
Mutations in calpain-3 cause limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2A. Biopsy pathology is typically dystrophic, sometimes characterized by frequent lobulated fibres. More recently calpain mutations have been shown in association with eosinophilic myositis, suggesting that calpain mutations may render muscle susceptible to inflammatory change.
