Assessing dysferlinopathy patients over three years with a new motor scale [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Dysferlinopathy is a muscular dystrophy with a highly variable clinical presentation and currently unpredictable progression. This variability and unpredictability presents difficulties for prognostication and clinical trial design.

Predicting Loss of Ambulation in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R9
ABSTRACT Background Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R9 (LGMDR9) results from biallelic variants in FKRP. There is limited data to predict loss of ambulation (LOA) among those with LGMDR9. Methods Participants in an ongoing dystroglycanopathy natural history study (NCT00313677) with FKRP variants who had achieved ambulation and were more than 3 ...

An in‐frame pseudoexon activation caused by a novel deep‐intronic variant in the dysferlin gene
The precise detection and interpretation of pathogenic DYSF variants are sometimes challenging, largely due to rare deep‐intronic splice‐altering variants. Here, we report on the genetic diagnosis of a male patient with dysferlinopathy.

Quantitative MRI of upper limb muscles in DMD patients showed increasing sensitivity to change over time with larger analysis volumes and longer follow‐up. Muscle fat fraction had the highest sensitivity to change and was associated with declining upper limb function, supporting its value as a robust imaging biomarker in DMD. ABSTRACT Duchenne muscular

Magnetic resonance imaging pattern variability in dysferlinopathy
The widespread use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of myopathies has made it possible to clarify the typical MRI pattern of dysferlinopathy.

Targeted next-generation sequencing for the genetic diagnosis of dysferlinopathy
Dysferlinopathy comprises a group of autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in the DYSF gene. Due to the large size of the gene and its lack of mutational hot spots, analysis of the DYSF gene is time-consuming and laborious using ...

Dysferlin at transverse tubules regulates Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle
The class of muscular dystrophies linked to the genetic ablation or mutation of dysferlin, including Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM), are late-onset degenerative diseases.

The repeated bout effect (RBE) is an adaptive response to a subsequent injury; muscle physiological or pathological state determines the magnitude and trajectory of strength adaptation. Abstract Skeletal muscle exhibits remarkable plasticity following injury, yet most research has focused on responses to a single bout of eccentric contractions.

Genetic Diagnosis and Discovery Enabled by Large Language Models
We demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) can facilitate genetic diagnosis and discovery. LLMs were used to solve four types of genetic problems of sequentially increased complexity. An LLM‐based pipeline could analyze genetic variants in the genomic sequences of human hearing loss or rare genetic disease patients and assist in identifying ...
