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.

ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle aging is associated with oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs), particularly PRDX3 and PRDX5, are antioxidant enzymes that are uniquely localized to mitochondria. While PRDX3 has been reported to play a role in maintaining mitochondrial function in muscle, the specific function of ...

MyomiRs Expression in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
ABSTRACT This manuscript is a comprehensive review focused on the role of microRNAs (miRs)—short RNA molecules—in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). LGMD encompasses various and heterogeneous rare genetic neuromuscular diseases, characterized by the progressive wasting and deterioration of muscle fibers, predominantly affecting the pelvic and ...

LGMD D3 in Uruguay presents as a slowly progressive adult‐onset scapulo‐pelvic‐peroneal dystrophy. Pathogenic variant c.1132G>C p.(Asp378His) was confirmed in all participants. This is the largest LGMD D3 cluster and first report of sex‐dependent age of onset.

Proteomic investigation of the molecular pathophysiology of dysferlinopathy
Abstract Mutations in dysferlin gene cause several types of muscular dystrophy in humans, including the limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and the distal muscular dystrophy of Miyoshi. The dysferlin gene product is a membrane‐associated protein belonging to the ferlins family of proteins.

A case of Miyoshi myopathy in clinical practice
Miyoshi myopathy belongs to the group of dysferlinopathies, rare myopathies, and therefore remains undiagnosed for a long time and currently has no etiopathogenetic treatment.

Effects of HMG CoA reductase (HMGCR) deficiency on skeletal muscle development
Three skeletal muscle diseases are linked to HMGCR, a key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. These diseases include a muscular dystrophy associated with pathogenic variants in the HMGCR gene, statin‐associated myopathy, and autoimmune anti‐HMGCR myopathy.
