Scapuloperoneal syndrome type Kaeser and a wide phenotypic spectrum of adult-onset, dominant myopathies are associated with the desmin mutation R350P [PDF]
In 1965, an adult-onset, autosomal dominant disorder with a peculiar scapuloperoneal distribution of weakness and atrophy was described in a large, multi-generation kindred and named ‘scapuloperoneal syndrome type Kaeser' (OMIM #181400).

Autoantibodies Produced at the Site of Tissue Damage Provide Evidence of Humoral Autoimmunity in Inclusion Body Myositis [PDF]
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) belongs to a group of muscle diseases known as the inflammatory myopathies. The presence of antibody-secreting plasma cells in IBM muscle implicates the humoral immune response in this disease.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Differentiating hereditary axonal polyneuropathies caused by distinct gene variants remains a clinical challenge. This comparative case study of DNAJB2‐ and HINT1‐related neuropathies aimed to broaden the phenotypic spectrum associated with these genes and to explore non‐motor symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in affected ...

Unusual multisystemic involvement and a novel BAG3 mutation revealed by NGS screening in a large cohort of myofibrillar myopathies [PDF]
Background: Myofibrillar myopathies (MFM) are a group of phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous neuromuscular disorders, which are characterized by protein aggregations in muscle fibres and can be associated with multisystemic involvement ...

ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of inclusion body myositis (IBM) can be delayed because of its heterogeneous clinical presentation and the lack of specific biomarkers. Muscle imaging has gained increasing relevance over the past decade and is now included among the supportive criteria in the international diagnostic guidelines.

A 67‐year‐old man with cryptogenic organising pneumonia developed recurrent relapses despite corticosteroid and mycophenolate therapy. A complete absence of mannose‐binding lectin was identified, suggesting impaired apoptotic cell clearance as a contributor to persistent inflammation.

The Diverse Neuromuscular Spectrum of VPS13A Disease
ABSTRACT Objective VPS13A disease (chorea‐acanthocytosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic variants in VPS13A, typically presenting with hyperkinetic movement disorders, while neuromuscular signs are often mild. The aim of the project was to investigate the frequency and severity of neuromuscular impairment in VPS13A disease ...
