Expanding the Clinico-Genetic Scope of Bethlem Myopathy: A Family of Five Patients from Kerala

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology
Bethlem myopathy (BM) represents the milder phenotype of collagen type VI-related myopathies. We report a young male with a striking family history who presented with progressive proximal myopathy, distal joint contractures, and a unique presentation of ...

A Case of Multiple Mitochondrial Dysfunctions Syndrome 1 and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 1 (MMDS1, MIM #605711) due to NFU1 gene defects is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism associated with reduced function of NFU1 iron–sulfur cluster (ISC) scaffold protein.

Congenital myopathies: disorders of excitation-contraction coupling and muscle contraction [PDF]

, 2018
The congenital myopathies are a group of early-onset, non-dystrophic neuromuscular conditions with characteristic muscle biopsy findings, variable severity and a stable or slowly progressive course. Pronounced weakness in axial and proximal muscle groups

Distal Myopathy

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1990
Various types of the distal myopathy except Welander's late distal myopathy of Swedish type were described. There were many reports in the past concerning the varieties of the distal myopathy. Distal myopathy is a rather rare disorder and it may be difficult to diagnose these cases.

Evaluation of quantitative muscle MRI and an intelligent phenotyping housing system as advanced phenotyping methods in a mouse model of calpain 3‐deficient muscular dystrophy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We applied quantitative MRI of the lower limb and automated home‐cage phenotyping to a mouse model of calpainopathy to detect early disease changes. At 15 months, calpain 3‐deficient mice showed increased water T2 values correlating with immune cell infiltration in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, while assessment of motor activity revealed only ...

Clinical, Histopathologic, and Genetic Features of Patients With Myofibrillary and Distal Myopathies

Background and Objectives The diagnostic process for myofibrillar myopathies (MFM) and distal myopathies (DM) is particularly complex because of the large number of causative genes, the existence of still molecularly undefined disease entities, and the ...
