The Molecular Diagnosis of Myopathies: Integrating Genomic, Proteomic, and Pathological Insights Toward Precision Medicine

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 15-28, July 2026.
Advances in genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic technologies are transforming the diagnosis of genetic myopathies. When integrated with traditional muscle pathology, multi‐omics approaches improve diagnostic yield, clarify disease mechanisms, and support more precise, mechanism‐based therapeutic strategies for patients with neuromuscular disorders ...

Multi-parametric quantitative MRI of the lower limb muscles in a longitudinal study of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R9.

PLoS ONE
Background and objectivesLimb-girdle muscular dystrophy R9 (LGMD-R9) is a rare neuromuscular disease with no curative treatment. Sensitive non-invasive biomarkers are necessary to monitor disease progression and evaluate the efficacy of novel therapies ...

Predicting Loss of Ambulation in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R9

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1154-1159, June 2026.
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 ...

Whole‐Body Pattern of Muscle Degeneration and Progression in Sarcoglycanopathies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1129-1140, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize whole‐body intramuscular fat distribution pattern in patients with sarcoglycanopathies and explore correlations with disease severity, duration and age at onset. Methods Retrospective, cross‐sectional, multicentric study enrolling patients with variants in one of the four sarcoglycan genes who underwent whole‐body ...

Detection of gene variants associated with recessive limb–girdle muscular weakness and Pompe disease in a global cohort of patients through the application of next-generation sequencing analysis

Frontiers in Genetics
IntroductionHereditary myopathies arise due to numerous pathogenic variants occurring in distinct genes, which amount to several hundred. Limb–girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders involving more ...

Convergent Post‐Drought Recovery of Biomass and Functional Traits Under Constant and Periodic Warming in Slow‐ and Fast‐Growing Plants

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
In a 2‐year outdoor mesocosm experiment, slow‐ and fast‐growing grassland plants exhibit biomass‐trait decoupling 1 month after drought, particularly under warmed conditions. This decoupling disappears 4 months after drought by the end of the growing season.

Elbow Flexors Muscle Fat Fraction Is a Sensitive and Relevant Outcome Measure in Nonambulant Patients With DMD

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 6, June 2026.
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

Limb girdle muscular dystrophies: The clinicopathological viewpoint

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2007
Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are characterized by involvement of the pelvic and shoulder girdles, classically with an onset in the second or third decade and a slow progression as opposed to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In fact, there are many

Ryanodine Receptor Ca2+ Leak‐Induced Redistribution of Ca2+ in Dystrophic mdx Mouse Muscle

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The dystrophic mdx mouse is a widely used model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Altered Ca2+ handling is a key feature, including increased Ca2+ leak through the ryanodine receptor (RyR1's), the primary Ca2+ release channel in skeletal muscle. Such leak has important downstream consequences for intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis.
