ABSTRACT Background Autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (ADCNM), most commonly caused by mutations in the dynamin 2 (DNM2) gene, is a rare congenital myopathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Myostatin, a key negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, has shown therapeutic potential in several models of neuromuscular ...

Quantitative Muscle MRI Fat Fraction as a Biomarker of Disease Severity in Mitochondrial Myopathies
ABSTRACT Background Quantitative muscle MRI is increasingly used to assess structural muscle damage in inherited myopathies, but its application in primary mitochondrial myopathies (PMM) has not been systematically evaluated in large cohorts. Because PMM are clinically and genetically heterogeneous, objective imaging biomarkers are needed to quantify ...

GlcNAc2-epimerase myopathy is a rare autosomal recessive myopathy characterized by distal involvement in the lower extremities. Our study reprogrammed human-induced pluripotent stem cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a patient with GNE gene

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Critical illness polyneuropathy and/or myopathy (CIP/CIM) is a major cause of weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU). The availability of conventional electrodiagnostic testing may be limited. Alternative electrophysiologic methods, including the strength‐duration test (SDT) and the stimulus electrodiagnosis test (SET ...

Distal myopathy caused by homozygous missense mutations in the nebulin gene
We describe a novel, recessively inherited distal myopathy caused by homozygous missense mutations in the nebulin gene (NEB), in which other combinations of mutations are known to cause nemaline (rod) myopathy (NM).

Complete loss of the DNAJB6 G/F domain and novel missense mutations cause distal-onset DNAJB6 myopathy [PDF]
Introduction Protein aggregation is a common cause of neuropathology. The protein aggregation myopathy Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 1D (LGMD1D) is caused by mutations of amino acids Phe89 or Phe93 of DNAJB6, a co-chaperone of the HSP70 ...

Summary Background Nephrosplenic entrapment (NSE) is a common surgical colic in horses. Ventral midline laparotomy (VML) under general anaesthesia (GA) is the standard approach, whereas standing flank laparotomy (SFL) is an alternative approach for surgical correction. However, direct comparisons between these approaches are lacking.

Welander distal myopathy : clinical and genetic studies
Distal myopathies are a group of muscular disorders described in many countries with different inheritance patterns and variable progression rates. Welander distal myopathy (WDM) is characterised by autosomal dominant inheritance, late onset and distal ...
