Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

The relative frequency of common neuromuscular diagnoses in a reference center

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
The diagnostic procedure in neuromuscular patients is complex. Knowledge of the relative frequency of neuromuscular diseases within the investigated population is important to allow the neurologist to perform the most appropriate diagnostic tests ...

Evaluation of quantitative muscle MRI and an intelligent phenotyping housing system as advanced phenotyping methods in a mouse model of calpain 3‐deficient muscular dystrophy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We applied quantitative MRI of the lower limb and automated home‐cage phenotyping to a mouse model of calpainopathy to detect early disease changes. At 15 months, calpain 3‐deficient mice showed increased water T2 values correlating with immune cell infiltration in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, while assessment of motor activity revealed only ...

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

The limb-girdle muscular dystrophies—Diagnostic strategies

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2007
The limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are a group of disorders where our understanding of their underlying molecular basis has made huge strides over the past years, revealing great heterogeneity at the clinical and molecular level. The availability of direct protein and/ or gene based approaches to diagnosis means that these disorders can now be ...
