Case report: A single novel calpain 3 gene variant associated with mild myopathy [PDF]
Recessively inherited limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1, caused by mutations in the calpain 3 gene, is the most common limb-girdle muscular dystrophy worldwide. Recently, cases of autosomal dominant calpainopathy have been described.

Generation of new LGMDR1 models with CRISPR/Cas9 and studies to expand insight into the disease. [PDF]
La LGMDR1 es la forma más común de las distrofias musculares de cinturas, y está causada por mutaciones en el gen CAPN3. Este gen codifica la proteína calpaína 3, una proteasa no lisosomal que se expresa principalmente en el músculo esquelético. La enfermedad, que actualmente no tiene cura ni tratamiento disponible, se caracteriza clínicamente por una ...

Abstract Introduction/Aims Limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) calpain 3‐related usually presents as a recessively transmitted weakness of proximal limb‐girdle muscles due to pathogenic variants in the CAPN3 gene. Pathogenic variants in this gene have also been found in patients with an autosomal dominantly inherited transmission pattern (LGMDD4)

Quantitative muscle magnetic resonance imaging in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type R1 (LGMDR1)
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type R1 (LGMDR1) is the most common subtype of LGMD in Europe. Prospective longitudinal data, including clinical assessments and new biomarkers such as quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI), are needed to evaluate the natural course of the disease and therapeutic options. We evaluated eight thigh and seven

The N-Terminal Fragment of Urine Titin Is Not a Product of Degradation by Calpain 3. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction A 20 kDa fragment at the N‐terminus of titin is highly excreted in the urine of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), making urine titin a prominent biomarker for muscle breakdown. This N‐terminal fragment is presumed to be a product of degradation by a protein‐degrading enzyme, calpain 3; however, whether calpain 3 is ...

MyomiRs Expression in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This manuscript is a comprehensive review focused on the role of microRNAs (miRs)—short RNA molecules—in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). LGMD encompasses various and heterogeneous rare genetic neuromuscular diseases, characterized by the progressive wasting and deterioration of muscle fibers, predominantly affecting the pelvic and ...
