Genetic spectrum among 2009 Iranian individuals with neuromuscular disorders using next generation sequencing and multiple ligation dependent probe amplification methods [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Hereditary neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous, with variable severity and onset from birth to adulthood. This study retrospectively analyzes genetic findings in 2009 Iranian individuals with suspected NMDs over 11

Bioinformatics analysis identifies BST1 as a potential therapeutic target linked to neutrophil extracellular traps in patients with acute liver failure [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a critical condition with a high mortality rate; however, the underlying mechanisms driving its progression remain poorly understood.

Novel five nucleotide deletion in dysferlin leads to autosomal recessive limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2023
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. Limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a type of MD that mainly causes muscle atrophy within the shoulder and pelvic girdles.

Crystal structures of the human Dysferlin inner DysF domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Mutations in dysferlin, the first protein linked with the cell membrane repair mechanism, causes a group of muscular dystrophies called dysferlinopathies.

Solution structure of the inner DysF domain of myoferlin and implications for limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2b [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mutations in the protein dysferlin, a member of the ferlin family, lead to limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Myoshi myopathy. The ferlins are large proteins characterised by multiple C2 domains and a single C-terminal membrane-spanning helix ...

В6.А-DYSFPRMD/GENEJ MICE AS A GENETIC MODEL OF DYSFERLINOPATHY

open access: yesФармация и фармакология (Пятигорск), 2022
The aim of the work was behavioral and pathomorphological phenotyping of the mice knockout for the DYSF gene, which plays an important role in the development and progression of dysferlinopathy.Materials and methods.

Ancestry dependent balancing selection of placental dysferlin at high-altitude

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: The placenta mediates fetal growth by regulating gas and nutrient exchange between the mother and the fetus. The cell type in the placenta where this nutrient exchange occurs is called the syncytiotrophoblast, which is the barrier between ...

A rare case of dysferlinopathy with paternal isodisomy for chromosome 2 determined by exome sequencing

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2023
Background Dysferlinopathies are autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies resulting from defects in DYSF (MIM: 603009), which is located on chromosome 2p13 and encodes the dysferlin protein. Methods We performed exome sequencing and subsequent trio‐based

Minimal expression of dysferlin prevents development of dysferlinopathy in dysferlin exon 40a knockout mice

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
Dysferlin is a Ca2+-activated lipid binding protein implicated in muscle membrane repair. Recessive variants in DYSF result in dysferlinopathy, a progressive muscular dystrophy.
