Therapeutic exon ‘switching’ for dysferlinopathies? [PDF]

European Journal of Human Genetics, 2010
We read with interest but also some surprise, the recent ‘Therapeutic exon skipping for Dysferlinopathies?' article by Aartsma-Rus et al,1 published in the Eur J Hum Genet (advance online publication, 10 February 2010; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2010.4). This report contains some inaccuracies and mistakes, and we do not agree with some of its main contents ...

Novel diagnostic features of dysferlinopathies [PDF]

Muscle & Nerve, 2010
AbstractReports of dysferlinopathy have suggested a clinically heterogeneous group of patients. We identified specific novel molecular and phenotypic features that help distinguish dysferlinopathies from other forms of limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). A detailed history, physical exam, and protein and mutation analysis of genomic DNA was done for

Myostatin and follistatin as monitoring and prognostic biomarkers in dysferlinopathy [PDF]

, 2023
Myostatin is a myokine which acts upon skeletal muscle to inhibit growth and regeneration. Myostatin is endogenously antagonised by follistatin. This study assessed serum myostatin and follistatin concentrations as monitoring or prognostic biomarkers in ...

Dysferlinopathy misdiagnosed with juvenile polymyositis in the pre-symptomatic stage of hyperCKemia: a case report and literature review

BMC Medical Genomics, 2022
Background Dysferlinopathy encompasses a group of rare muscular dystrophies caused by recessive mutations in the DYSF gene. The phenotype ranges from asymptomatic elevated serum creatine kinase (hyperCKemia) to selective and progressive involvement of ...

P.165 Clinical outcome study of dysferlinopathy: lower limb water T2 predicts functional decline in patients with dysferlinopathy [PDF]

, 2022
Water-T2 (T2H2O) mapping is used in muscular dystrophies to assess disease activity. It has been suggested as a surrogate outcome measure for clinical trials.

Elevated Ca2+ at the triad junction underlies dysregulation of Ca2+ signaling in dysferlin-null skeletal muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Dysferlin-null A/J myofibers generate abnormal Ca2+ transients that are slightly reduced in amplitude compared to controls. These are further reduced in amplitude by hypoosmotic shock and often appear as Ca2+ waves (Lukyanenko et al., J. Physiol., 2017).
