Mutations in the J domain of DNAJB6 cause dominant distal myopathy [PDF]
Eight patients from five families with undiagnosed dominant distal myopathy underwent clinical, neurophysiological and muscle biopsy examinations. Molecular genetic studies were performed using targeted sequencing of all known myopathy genes followed by ...

Myofibrillar myopathies: new developments [PDF]
Purpose of review: Myofibrillar myopathies (MFMs) are a heterogeneous group of skeletal and cardiac muscle diseases. In this review, we highlight recent discoveries of new genes and disease mechanisms involved in this group of disorders.Recent findings ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes to model inclusion body myositis
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory myopathy that displays proximal and distal muscle weakness. At the histopathological level, the muscles of IBM patients show inflammatory infiltrates, rimmed vacuoles and mitochondrial changes.

Two-dimensional echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiologic studies, and biopsies of cardiac and skeletal muscle were performed in a patient with complete atrioventricular block as the initial manifestation of restrictive cardiomyopathy. The patient also showed distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles.

Desmin forms toxic, seeding-competent amyloid aggregates that persist in muscle fibers [PDF]
Desmin-associated myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) has pathologic similarities to neurodegeneration-associated protein aggregate diseases. Desmin is an abundant muscle-specific intermediate filament, and disease mutations lead to its aggregation in cells ...

A clinicopathological study of inclusion body myositis [PDF]
Sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the commonest acquired myopathy in individuals aged over 50 years. Currently, diagnosis is based largely upon specific muscle biopsy findings, though these are thought to lack sensitivity.
