Altered expression of proteins involved in metabolism in LGMDR1 muscle is lost in cell culture conditions [PDF]
Background Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R1 calpain 3-related (LGMDR1) is an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy due to mutations in the CAPN3 gene.

Patient-specific iPSC-derived cellular models of LGMDR1
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy recessive 1 (LGMDR1) represents one of the most common types of LGMD in the population, where patients develop a progressive muscle degeneration. The disease is caused by mutations in calpain 3 gene, with over 500 mutations

In situ detection of activation of CAPN3, a responsible gene product for LGMDR1, in mouse skeletal myotubes [PDF]
CAPN3/calpain-3/p94, a muscle-specific Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease, is responsible for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1), an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy. However, the activation mechanism and physiological function of CAPN3 in skeletal muscles remain unknown.

Urinary N-terminal titin fragment ascertained as biomarker in a small cohort of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy LGMDR1-calpain 3 related [PDF]
We aimed to investigate the validity of urinary N-terminal titin (TTN) fragment as a biomarker for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy LGMDR1-calpain 3 related. Thirteen LGMDR1 patients and eleven healthy controls were enrolled for the study. LGMDR1 patients had significantly increased urinary N-terminal titin fragment concentrations than age-matched ...

The Role of Integrin β1D Mislocalization in the Pathophysiology of Calpain 3-Related Limb–Girdle Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) is characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness due to mutations in the CAPN3 gene. Little is known about CAPN3’s function in muscle, but its loss results in aberrant sarcomere formation.

Targeting the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy With CAPN3 Mutations [PDF]
LGMDR1 is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene that encodes calpain 3 (CAPN3), a non-lysosomal cysteine protease necessary for proper muscle function.

Disease Progression and Mutation Pattern in a Large Cohort of LGMD R1/LGMD 2A Patients from India [PDF]
Calpainopathy is caused by mutations in the CAPN3. There is only one clinical and genetic study of CAPN3 from India and none from South India. A total of 72 (male[M]:female [F] = 34:38) genetically confirmed probands from 72 independent families are ...
