Circulating small RNA signatures differentiate accurately the subtypes of muscular dystrophies: small-RNA next-generation sequencing analytics and functional insights

RNA Biology, 2022
Muscular dystrophies are a group of rare and severe inherited disorders mainly affecting the muscle tissue. Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, Myotonic Dystrophy types 1 and 2, Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy are some ...

Genetics and muscle pathology in the diagnosis of muscular dystrophies: An update

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2022
Muscular dystrophies are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders involving the skeletal muscles. They have a progressive clinical course and are characterized by muscle fiber degeneration.

Refining Shoulder Diagnostics: A Technical Note on Scapular Physical Examination

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Normal scapulothoracic function relies on a delicate balance among several periscapular muscles and is essential for shoulder motion. Disturbance in this balance can lead to abnormal motion, which can impair shoulder function, leading to pain and discomfort.

Fibroadipogenic progenitors are responsible for muscle loss in limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B

Nature Communications, 2019
Fibroadipogenic precursor cells (FAPs) contribute to fibrosis and adipogenic replacement in muscular dystrophies. Here, the authors show that FAPs contribute to adipogenic loss in mouse models of limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B via a mechanism ...

A 12‐Year‐Old Child With a Sunken Sternum and Progressive Muscle Weakness: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT A 12‐year‐old girl with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and severe pectus excavatum presented with progressive dyspnea and restrictive ventilatory impairment. She underwent successful Nuss repair with uneventful recovery. At 6‐month follow‐up, chest contour and pulmonary function improved, suggesting that surgical correction is feasible

Pragmatic Phenotype–Electrophysiology–Genomics Integration in Pediatric Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes: Insights From 36 Patients in a Single‐Center Study in China

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
In 36 Chinese pediatric CMS patients, integrated phenotype, RNS, and genomic assessment revealed marked genetic heterogeneity across 17 CMS‐associated genes and frequent VUS‐related uncertainty. Genotype‐informed therapy improved MG‐ADL scores, while CHAT‐CMS identified a high‐risk subgroup for early respiratory failure and mortality.

AGRN‐, LRP4‐, MUSK‐Related CMS: Clinical, Neurophysiological, Morphological, Genetic and Pathological Mechanisms

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue S1, Page S31-S40, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins essential for neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function. Pathogenic variants have been identified in more than 35 genes, underscoring the complexity of synaptic biology and the wide range of mechanisms that can compromise neuromuscular ...
