Biallelic mutations in the dysferlin gene cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B or Miyoshi distal myopathy. We found that nonsense mutations are the most common mutation type among Korean patients with dysferlinopathy; more than half of the patients ...

Brain Atrophy Associated With Risk Variant rs10191329 Extends Beyond Multiple Sclerosis
The risk allele rs10191329*A is associated with disease severity and brain atrophy in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). We investigated the association of rs10191329 with age‐related brain atrophy in a population‐based cohort using 10,308 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 4,815 participants aged ≥ 45 years without MS in cross‐sectional and ...

Dysferlin and its role in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Dysferlin is a multi C2 domain protein that belongs to the ferlin family and is localized to the T-tubule system in skeletal muscle fibers. It is involved in skeletal muscle membrane repair, regeneration and T-tubule biogenesis.

Functions of Vertebrate Ferlins
Ferlins are multiple-C2-domain proteins involved in Ca2+-triggered membrane dynamics within the secretory, endocytic and lysosomal pathways. In bony vertebrates there are six ferlin genes encoding, in humans, dysferlin, otoferlin, myoferlin, Fer1L5 and 6

Impact of OMICS Technologies in Our Understanding of the Pathogenesis of Peri‐Implantitis
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the contribution of OMICS technologies to the understanding of peri‐implantitis pathogenesis from a host immune perspective. Materials and Methods A narrative review was conducted based on electronic searches of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar up to October 2025, complemented by manual screening of reference lists ...

The Structural and Functional Analysis of Membrane-Associating C2A and Fer A Domains in Ferlin Proteins [PDF]
Dysferlin and myoferlin play roles in membrane alteration, and both are highly expressed in skeletal muscle cells. These multi C2 domain proteins are ~270 kDa in size and show high primary sequence similarity. Despite their similarities and the fact that

Dysferlin-deficient limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD R2), also referred to as dysferlinopathy, can be associated with respiratory muscle weakness as the disease progresses.

Muscle repair in dysferlinopathies is defective. Although macrophage (Mø)-rich infiltrates are prominent in damaged skeletal muscles of patients with dysferlinopathy, the contribution of the immune system to the disease pathology remains to be fully ...

Abstract Rhodopsins are ancient and versatile light‐sensitive proteins, widely distributed across microbial life. In dinoflagellates, however, their diversity and function remain poorly understood, owing to the lineage's extreme genomic divergence. Here, we surveyed the rhodopsin complements of two dinoflagellates, Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium ...

Plasmid-Mediated Gene Therapy in Mouse Models of Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
We delivered plasmid DNA encoding therapeutic genes to the muscles of mouse models of limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2A, 2B, and 2D, deficient in calpain3, dysferlin, and alpha-sarcoglycan, respectively.
