Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Amphiphysin 2, encoded by BIN1, is a key factor for membrane sensing and remodelling in different cell types. Homozygous BIN1 mutations in ubiquitously expressed exons are associated with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a mildly ...

MEROSIN-DEFICIENT CONGENITAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (CMD1A): CLINICAL CASE OF CONGENITAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY INVOLVING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

open access: yesПедиатрическая фармакология, 2014
Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are an extremely heterogenous group of neuromuscular diseases. The article presents the general information on clinical and pathogenetic aspects of CMD diagnosis with emphasis on one of the most common forms of ...

Functional characterization of orbicularis oculi and extraocular muscles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The orbicularis oculi are the sphincter muscles of the eyelids and are involved in modulating facial expression. They differ from both limb and extraocular muscles (EOMs) in their histology and biochemistry. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscles is a

Successful bone marrow transplantation in a patient with Diamond-Blackfan anemia with co-existing Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are two rare congenital anomalies. Both anomalies occurring in the same child is extremely rare.

Characterization of cardiac involvement in children with LMNA-related muscular dystrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: LMNA-related muscular dystrophy is a rare entity that produce “laminopathies” such as Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), limb–girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B (LGMD1B), and LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy (L-CMD).

Artificial restoration of the linkage between laminin and dystroglycan ameliorates the disease progression of MDC1A muscular dystrophy at all stages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Laminin-α2 deficient congenital muscular dystrophy, classified as MDC1A, is a severe progressive muscle-wasting disease that leads to death in early childhood.

Co‐Opting MBNL‐Dependent Alternative Splicing Cassette Exons to Control Gene Therapy in Myotonic Dystrophy

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a highly variable, multisystemic genetic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of DMPK. Toxicity is exerted by repeat‐containing DMPK transcripts that sequester muscleblind‐like (MBNL) proteins and lead to deleterious yet predictable changes in alternative splicing.

How do nematodes transfer phosphorylcholine to carbohydrates? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An unusual aspect of the biology of nematodes is the attachment of phosphorylcholine (PC) to carbohydrate. The attachment appears to play an important role in nematode development and, in some parasitic species, in immunomodulation.

Epilepsy Phenotypic Spectrum of NUS1‐Related Disorder: A Case Series

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epilepsy with myoclonic and atonic seizures (EMAtS), also known as Doose syndrome, accounts for 1%–2% of childhood epilepsies, and various genes have been implicated in causing this epilepsy syndrome. NUS1 encodes for Nogo‐B receptor (NgBR), which stabilizes the dehydrodolichyl‐diphosphate synthase complex in the endoplasmic ...
