Serum Cytokine Profile in a Patient Diagnosed with Dysferlinopathy [PDF]
© 2017 Svetlana F. Khaiboullina et al. Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2 (LGMD2B) is a mild form of dysferlinopathy, characterized by limb weakness and wasting.

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 ...

Table_2_Assessing the Relationship of Patient Reported Outcome Measures With Functional Status in Dysferlinopathy: A Rasch Analysis Approach.docx [PDF]
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.

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.

Translational Research and Therapeutic Perspectives in Dysferlinopathies
Dysferlinopathies are autosomal recessive disorders caused by mutations in the dysferlin (DYSF) gene, encoding the dysferlin protein. DYSF mutations lead to a wide range of muscular phenotypes, with the most prominent being Miyoshi myopathy (MM) and limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and the second most common being LGMD.

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

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.

Dysferlinopathy: Clinical aspects in India [PDF]
Mutations in the dysferlin gene on Chromosome 2p cause dysferlinopathies which include two distinct clinical entities, Miyoshi myopathy (MM) (OMIM no. 254130) and limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B) (OMIM no. 253601). They have been diagnosed as different diseases clinically depending on the affected muscles at the onset.

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.

Non-invasive protein analysis in the first dysferlinopathy Croatian families [PDF]
Mutations in human dysferlin (DYSF) gene cause both limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi myopathy (MM), also named dysferlinopathy.
