PAX7 target genes are globally repressed in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy skeletal muscle

Nature Communications, 2017
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is a myopathy linked to ectopic expression of the DUX4 transcription factor. The authors show that the suppression of targets genes of the myogenesis regulator PAX7 is a signature of FSHD, and might explain ...

Predictors of functional outcomes in patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

Brain : a journal of neurology, 2021
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most prevalent muscular dystrophies characterized by considerable variability in severity, rates of progression and functional outcomes. Few studies follow FSHD cohorts long enough to understand

DUX4c, an FSHD candidate gene, interferes with myogenic regulators and abolishes myoblast differentiation [PDF]

, 2008
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disease. It maps to the D4Z4 repeat array at 4q35, and correlates with a repeat contraction which derepresses transcription of local genes. Which, if any, of these genes

Dominant lethal pathologies in male mice engineered to contain an X-linked DUX4 transgene [PDF]

, 2014
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an enigmatic disease associated with epigenetic alterations in the subtelomeric heterochromatin of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat.

Dysphagia in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Neurology, 2006
Dysphagia is not considered a symptom of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). In this study, the authors found that dysphagia does occur in patients with advanced FSHD showing mild involvement of the jaw and lingual muscles. Dysphagia is seldom life threatening in these patients. The authors conclude that dysphagia should not be considered an

Identification of candidate miRNA biomarkers for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy using DUX4-based mouse models

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2021
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by misexpression of DUX4 in skeletal myocytes. As DUX4 is the key therapeutic target in FSHD, surrogate biomarkers of DUX4 expression in skeletal muscle are critically needed for clinical trials ...

Remote Monitoring in Myasthenia Gravis: Exploring Symptom Variability

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, autoimmune disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness and potential life‐threatening crises. While continuous specialized care is essential, access barriers often delay timely interventions. To address this, we developed MyaLink, a telemedical platform for MG patients.

Geographical distribution of eight neuromuscular disorders in the Netherlands based on a nationwide registry

Rare
Neuromuscular disorders are a very heterogeneous group of diseases and comprise a large number of patients. Epidemiological key figures on incidence, prevalence and mortality serve as basic information for individualised and public health care and ...

FSHD myoblasts fail to downregulate intermediate filament protein vimentin during myogenic differentiation. [PDF]

, 2011
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant hereditary neuromuscular disorder. The clinical features of FSHD include weakness of the facial and shoulder girdle muscles followed by wasting of skeletal muscles of the pelvic ...

Longitudinal study of MRI and functional outcome measures in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a patchy and slowly progressive disease of skeletal muscle. For MRI to be a useful biomarker in an FSHD clinical trial, it should reliably detect changes over relatively short time-intervals ...
