Myasthenic congenital myopathy from recessive mutations at a single residue in NaV1.4
Objective To identify the genetic and physiologic basis for recessive myasthenic congenital myopathy in 2 families, suggestive of a channelopathy involving the sodium channel gene, SCN4A.

Porcine congenital splayleg is characterised by muscle fibre atrophy associated with relative rise in MAFbx and fall in P311 expression [PDF]
<p>Background: Porcine congenital splayleg (PCS) is the most important congenital condition of piglets, associated with lameness and immobility, of unknown aetiology and pathogenesis, hence the need to better understand the condition by defining ...

SEQUENCE VARIANTS IN THE RYR1 GENE AND GENETIC DISEASES: MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA AND CONGENITAL MYOPATHIES [PDF]
This PhD thesis has been focused on the identification and functional characterization of sequence variants in the RYR1 gene, associated with Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and some congenital myopathies (CMs).

Profound Hypotonia and Respiratory Failure due to Suspected Nemaline Myopathy in a Preterm Infant
Congenital myopathies, such as nemaline myopathy, may present with hypotonia and respiratory failure in the neonatal period. Respiratory function can be further compromised in affected infants by the development of chylous effusions.

De novo mutations in FLNC leading to early‐onset restrictive cardiomyopathy and congenital myopathy
Mutations in FLNC for a long time are known in connection to neuromuscular disorders and only recently were described in association with various cardiomyopathies.

Gene Expression Profiles of Inflammatory Myopathies
The simultaneous expression of 10,000 genes was measured, using Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays, in muscle specimens from 45 patients with various myopathies (dystrophy, congenital myopathy, and inflammatory myopathy) examined at Brigham and Women’s ...
