Medication adherence in patients with myotonic dystrophy and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) are the two most common adult muscular dystrophies and have progressive and often disabling manifestations.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Ewing sarcoma in a child with neurofibromatosis type 1. [PDF]
We report here on a case of Ewing sarcoma (ES) occurring in a child with neurofibromatosis type 1. The sarcoma had an EWSR1-ERG translocation as well as loss of the remaining wild-type allele of NF1. Loss of the NF1 wild-type allele in the tumor suggests

ZNF384-related fusion genes define a subgroup of childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a characteristic immunotype [PDF]
Fusion genes involving ZNF384 have recently been identified in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and 7 fusion partners have been reported. We further characterized this type of fusion gene by whole transcriptome sequencing and/or polymerase ...

Aberrant splicing in transgenes containing introns, exons, and V5 epitopes: lessons from developing an FSHD mouse model expressing a D4Z4 repeat with flanking genomic sequences. [PDF]
The DUX4 gene, encoded within D4Z4 repeats on human chromosome 4q35, has recently emerged as a key factor in the pathogenic mechanisms underlying Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).

Joint single-cell DNA accessibility and protein epitope profiling reveals environmental regulation of epigenomic heterogeneity. [PDF]
Here we introduce Protein-indexed Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (Pi-ATAC) that combines single-cell chromatin and proteomic profiling. In conjunction with DNA transposition, the levels of multiple cell surface or intracellular

Dual DNA–RNA panel with matched tumor–normal testing may improve diagnostic accuracy and inform treatment decisions in the routine clinical management of sarcoma. ABSTRACT Next‐generation sequencing‐based comprehensive cancer genomic profiling is promising in cancer management; however, most studies rely on tumor‐only DNA panels from single ...

ABSTRACT Background Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) and Myasthenia Gravis (MG) are well‐known rare neuromuscular diseases of respectively genetic and acquired origin. Among muscular dystrophies, the co‐occurrence of MG with FSHD is the most common, representing a non‐negligible “double trouble”.

DUX4 expression activates JNK and p38 MAP kinases in myoblasts
ABSTRACT Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by misexpression of the DUX4 transcription factor in skeletal muscle that results in transcriptional alterations, abnormal phenotypes and cell death. To gain insight into the kinetics of DUX4-induced stresses, we activated DUX4 expression in myoblasts and performed ...
