Asymptomatic and oligosymptomatic states of dysferlinopathy [PDF]
Journal of Neuromuscular DiseasesDysferlinopathy is a phenotypically heterogeneous, inherited, progressive muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the DYSF gene. Dysferlinopathy is marked by elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) and can in some cases manifest as hyperCKemia in asymptomatic or low-symptom states.

Serum Cytokine Profile in a Patient Diagnosed with Dysferlinopathy [PDF]
Case Reports in Medicine, 2017 Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2 (LGMD2B) is a mild form of dysferlinopathy, characterized by limb weakness and wasting. It is an autosomal recessive disease, with currently 140 mutations in the LGMD2B gene identified.

Dysferlinopathy: A Case Report and Literature Update
İstanbul Medical Journal, 2016 Dysferlinopathy is a rare autosomal recessive myopathy, resulting in the lack or absence of dysferlin production caused by mutations in the encoding gene.

Transcriptome analysis of skeletal muscle in dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and dysferlinopathy, using a bioinformatics approach [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 BackgroundPolymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are two distinct subgroups of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Dysferlinopathy, caused by a dysferlin gene mutation, usually presents in late adolescence with muscle weakness, degenerative muscle ...

Heterogeneous Characteristics of Korean Patients with Dysferlinopathy [PDF]
Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2012 Dysferlinopathy is caused by mutations in the DYSF gene. To characterize the clinical spectrum, we investigated the characteristics of 31 Korean dysferlinopathy patients confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The mean age of symptom onset was 22.23 ± 7.34 yr. The serum creatine kinase (CK) was highly increased (4- to 101-fold above normal).

Assessing the Relationship of Patient Reported Outcome Measures With Functional Status in Dysferlinopathy: A Rasch Analysis Approach [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Dysferlinopathy is a muscular dystrophy with a highly variable functional disease progression in which the relationship of function to some patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) has not been previously reported.

Water T2 could predict functional decline in patients with dysferlinopathy [PDF]
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2022 Background Water T2 (T2H2O) mapping is increasingly being used in muscular dystrophies to assess active muscle damage. It has been suggested as a surrogate outcome measure for clinical trials.

Enhancing the Performance of a Blood-Based Diagnostic Screening Tool for Dysferlinopathy: Optimising an Immunoassay Across Continents. [PDF]
Neuropathol Appl NeurobiolWe validated an immunohistochemical method for detecting dysferlin in neutrophils from peripheral blood films (PBFs), offering a minimally invasive alternative to muscle biopsy. In an Indian cohort, the assay showed 100% sensitivity. Specificity depended on sample quality and storage conditions.
