ACTA1‐Related Adult‐Onset Scapuloperoneal Myopathy With Cores and Rods

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 52, Issue 2, April 2026.
We report a patient with an adult‐onset, slowly progressive, ACTA1‐related scapuloperoneal myopathy with cores and rods, determined by the heterozygous variant NM_001100.4:c.1001C > T, p.(Pro334Leu). The scapuloperoneal phenotype could represent a distinct subcategory, and the characterisation of this patient with a less severe, different clinical ...

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 ...

Therapeutic Gene Editing: DNA Repair Pathways, Emerging Editors, and Clinical Progress

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The field of gene editing has evolved rapidly over the past decade, progressing from programmable zinc‐finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator‐like effector nucleases (TALENs) to the widespread adoption of CRISPR‐Cas systems. First‐generation editors catalyzed genome engineering by introducing targeted double‐strand breaks (DSBs ...

Expanding the Differential Diagnosis of Ultrasonographic Flexor Digitorum Profundus–Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Dissociation of Echogenicity: Muscular Dystrophies

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 485-489, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Dissociation of echogenicity of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) on neuromuscular ultrasound has been reported to be a useful sign to differentiate inclusion body myositis (IBM) from more common disease mimics, but it is not clear that this finding is pathognomonic of IBM. Our study aimed to

Elevated Risk of Endometrial Cancer and Precursor Lesions in Patients With Myotonic Dystrophy: A Retrospective Study at a Single Institution in Japan

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, Volume 52, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Myotonic dystrophy (MD) has been associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer (EC) in Western countries; however, data from Japan are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and clinical characteristics of EC and its precursor lesion, atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH), in Japanese patients with MD.

Transcriptomic gene signatures measure satellite cell activity in muscular dystrophies

iScience
Summary: The routine need for myonuclear turnover in skeletal muscle, together with more sporadic demands for hypertrophy and repair, are performed by resident muscle stem cells called satellite cells.

The development of myasthenia gravis in a patient with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: case report and literature review

Neurology International, 2019
The co-existence of facioscapulohumeral muscle dystrophy (FSHD) and myasthenia gravis (MG) is very rare and few cases have been described in the literature.

Cellular and animal models for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy and presents with weakness of the facial, scapular and humeral muscles, which frequently progresses to the lower limbs and truncal areas, causing profound

Interleukin‐6 as a Key Biomarker in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy: Evidence From Longitudinal Analyses

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 310-323, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder with no approved treatments. Identifying reliable biomarkers is critical to monitor disease severity, activity, and progression. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker, but longitudinal validation is limited ...

Combined Lumbar-Sacral Plexus Block in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy for Hip Fracture Surgery: A Case Report

Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a muscular dystrophy that can affect individuals of all age groups. Its prevalence is reported to be 0.4-1 in 10,000 people. Because of the low occurrence of FSHD, anaesthetic management is primarily based
