Epigenetic mechanisms of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2008
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) seems to be caused by a complex epigenetic disease mechanism as a result of contraction of the polymorphic macrosatellite repeat D4Z4 on chromosome 4qter. Currently, the exact mechanism causing the FSHD phenotype is still not elucidated. In this review, we discuss the genetic and epigenetic changes observed

The Potential of SARMs and Antimyostatin Agents in Addressing Lean Body Mass Loss From GLP‐1 Agonists: A Literature Review

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) have demonstrated substantial weight loss effects among patients with diabetes and obesity. However, given the rapid weight loss induced, there is concern about the total change in body composition, including lean body mass (LBM).

Myo‐Guide: A Machine Learning‐Based Web Application for Neuromuscular Disease Diagnosis With MRI

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are rare disorders characterized by progressive muscle fibre loss, leading to replacement by fibrotic and fatty tissue, muscle weakness and disability. Early diagnosis is critical for therapeutic decisions, care planning and genetic counselling.

Analyzing Pain Medication Use and Adherence in Patients with Myotonic Dystrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy [PDF]

, 2015
Objectives: Myotonic dystrophy (DM) and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) are two of the most common muscular dystrophies in adults. It has been reported that patients with these two disorders may suffer from pain and inadequate pain management.

The Effects of Resistance Exercise Training on Strength and Functional Tasks in Adults With Limb-Girdle, Becker, and Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: The inclusion of resistance training in the treatment and management of muscular dystrophy has previously been discouraged, based on mainly anecdotal evidence.

The prospects of targeting DUX4 in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2020
Purpose of reviewFacioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a neuromuscular disorder, which is caused by incomplete repression of the transcription factor double homeobox 4 (DUX4) in skeletal muscle. To date, there is no DUX4-targeting treatment to prevent or delay disease progression.

A steady‐state MR fingerprinting sequence optimization framework applied to the fast 3D quantification of fat fraction and water T1 in the thigh muscles

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 93, Issue 6, Page 2623-2639, June 2025.
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to develop an optimization framework to shorten GRE‐based MRF sequences while keeping similar parameter estimation quality. Methods An optimization framework taking into account steady‐state initial longitudinal magnetization, undersampling artifacts, and mitigating overfitting by drawing from a realistic ...

Noncoding RNAs and Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2016
Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as miRNAs and long noncoding RNAs modulate gene transcription in response to environmental stressors and other stimuli. A role for ncRNAs in muscle pathologies has been demonstrated and further evidence suggests that ncRNAs ...

DUX4-Induced Histone Variants H3.X and H3.Y Mark DUX4 Target Genes for Expression

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: The DUX4 transcription factor is briefly expressed in the early cleavage-stage embryo, where it induces an early wave of zygotic gene transcription, whereas its mis-expression in skeletal muscle causes the muscular dystrophy facioscapulohumeral ...
