Identification and association of the single nucleotide polymorphisms in calpain3 (
BMC Genetics, 2009 Background The aim of this study is to screen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of chicken Calpain3 (CAPN3) gene and to analyze the potential association between CAPN3 gene polymorphisms and carcass traits in chickens.

The Role of Integrin β1D Mislocalization in the Pathophysiology of Calpain 3-Related Limb–Girdle Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
CellsLimb–girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) is characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness due to mutations in the CAPN3 gene. Little is known about CAPN3’s function in muscle, but its loss results in aberrant sarcomere formation.

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy due to Digenic Inheritance of DES and CAPN3 Mutations
Case Reports in Neurology, 2018 We report the clinical and genetic analysis of a 63-year-old man with progressive weakness developing over more than 20 years. Prior to his initial visit, he underwent multiple neurological and rheumatological evaluations and was treated for possible ...

Implementing a Tiered Genetic Testing Strategy for Muscular Dystrophies in Morocco: From Targeted Assays to Exome Sequencing. [PDF]
Mol Genet Genomic MedTargeted routine testing combined with NGS approaches enabled effective genetic diagnosis of muscular dystrophies in Moroccan patients, with nearly half of cases resolved by first‐line testing and additional diagnoses obtained through targeted sequencing and whole‐exome sequencing.

Late-onset camptocormia caused by a heterozygous in-frame CAPN3 deletion [PDF]
Neuromuscular Disorders, 2021 Camptocormia is defined by a pathological involuntary flexion of the thoracic and lumbar spine that is fully reducible in the supine position. Although originally described as a manifestation of conversion disorder, it is more commonly caused by a wide range of neurological diseases, in particular movement and neuromuscular disorders.

Novel CAPN3 variant associated with an autosomal dominant calpainopathy [PDF]
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 2020 AimsThe most common autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy is associated with the CAPN3 gene. The exclusively recessive inheritance of this disorder has been recently challenged by the description of the recurrent variants, c.643_663del21 [p.(Ser215_Gly221del)] and c.598_612del15 [p.(Phe200_Leu204del)], associated with autosomal dominant ...

Biology 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.
