Incidence and Prevalence of Congenital Myopathies ‐ A Population‐Based Study From Western Sweden
Objective Congenital myopathies are a group of rare genetic muscle disorders. Previous studies have estimated point prevalences which only include surviving individuals. Our aim was to perform an epidemiological study with strict inclusion criteria, using modern diagnostic technology to present both incidences and prevalences, and to describe the ...

A recurrent RYR1 mutation associated with early-onset hypotonia and benign disease course
The ryanodine receptor RyR1 is the main sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channel in skeletal muscle and acts as a connecting link between electrical stimulation and Ca2+-dependent muscle contraction.

ABSTRACT Background Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a progressive genetic myopathy that mainly affects the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) and the heart (cardiac muscles). The disease is frequently associated with mutations in genes encoding nuclear envelope proteins, most notably LMNA, which encodes lamin A—a critical ...

Dynamin 2 the rescue for centronuclear myopathy [PDF]
Centronuclear myopathy is a lethal muscle disease. The most severe form of the disease, X-linked centronuclear myopathy, is due to mutations in the gene encoding myotubularin (MTM1), while mutations in dynamin 2 (DNM2) and amphiphysin 2/BIN1 (AMPH2) cause milder forms of myopathy.

Myostatin: a Circulating Biomarker Correlating with Disease in Myotubular Myopathy Mice and Patients
Myotubular myopathy, also called X-linked centronuclear myopathy (XL-CNM), is a severe congenital disease targeted for therapeutic trials. To date, biomarkers to monitor disease progression and therapy efficacy are lacking.

MUSK‐related congenital myasthenic syndrome (MUSK‐CMS) is a rare neuromuscular disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the MUSK gene. The phenotypic spectrum varies significantly, ranging from mild, fatigable muscle weakness to severe neonatal onset with respiratory failure.

Autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy with unique clinical presentations [PDF]
Centronuclear myopathies are clinically and genetically heterogenous diseases with common histological findings, namely, centrally located nuclei in muscle fibers with a predominance and hypotrophy of type 1 fibers.

Phosphoinositides (PIs) are membrane lipids that regulate signal transduction and vesicular trafficking. X-linked centronuclear myopathy (XLCNM), also called myotubular myopathy, results from loss-of-function mutations in the MTM1 gene, which encodes the
