Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Amphiphysin 2, encoded by BIN1, is a key factor for membrane sensing and remodelling in different cell types. Homozygous BIN1 mutations in ubiquitously expressed exons are associated with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a mildly ...

Clinical and genetic characterisation of dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy in a family of Miniature Poodle dogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Four full-sibling intact male Miniature Poodles were evaluated at 4–19 months of age. One was clinically normal and three were affected. All affected dogs were reluctant to exercise and had generalised muscle atrophy, a stiff gait and a markedly elevated

Lower Limb Radiology of Distal Myopathy due to the S60F Myotilin Mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Distal myopathies are a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of disorders in which the distal limb musculature is selectively or disproportionately affected.

Muscular dystrophy with marked Dysferlin deficiency is consistently caused by primary dysferlin gene mutations [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Human Genetics, 2011
Dysferlin is a 237-kDa transmembrane protein involved in calcium-mediated sarcolemma resealing. Dysferlin gene mutations cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2B, Miyoshi myopathy (MM) and distal myopathy of the anterior tibialis. Considering that a secondary Dysferlin reduction has also been described in other myopathies, our original goal was ...

Dysferlin interacts with histone deacetylase 6 and increases alpha-tubulin acetylation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Dysferlin is a multi-C2 domain transmembrane protein involved in a plethora of cellular functions, most notably in skeletal muscle membrane repair, but also in myogenesis, cellular adhesion and intercellular calcium signaling.

FER-1/Dysferlin promotes cholinergic signaling at the neuromuscular junction in C. elegans and mice

open access: yesBiology Open, 2013
Summary Dysferlin is a member of the evolutionarily conserved ferlin gene family. Mutations in Dysferlin lead to Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B), an inherited, progressive and incurable muscle disorder.

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 ...

Abnormal Expression of Dysferlin in Blood Monocytes Supports Primary Dysferlinopathy in Patients Confirmed by Genetic Analyses

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Objective: Dysferlin deficiency causes dysferlinopathy. This study aimed to expand the mutational spectrum of dysferlinopathies, to further study one case with diagnostic ambiguity, and to identify the diagnostic value of dysferlin expression in total ...

Progressive Structural Defects in Canine Centronuclear Myopathy Indicate a Role for HACD1 in Maintaining Skeletal Muscle Membrane Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Mutations in HACD1/PTPLA cause recessive congenital myopathies in humans and dogs. Hydroxyacyl-coA dehydratases are required for elongation of very long chain fatty acids, and HACD1 has a role in early myogenesis, but the functions of this striated ...

Dysferlin Regulates Cell Adhesion in Human Monocytes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Dysferlin is mutated in a group of muscular dystrophies commonly referred to as dysferlinopathies. It is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, where it is important for sarcolemmal maintenance. Recent studies show that dysferlin is also expressed in monocytes.
