Decades of Misdiagnosis as Myasthenia Gravis: Late‐Onset POLG‐Related Ophthalmoplegia Unveiled by Whole‐Genome Sequencing

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A 55‐year‐old male developed POLG‐related ophthalmoplegia in 2015 and was misdiagnosed with seronegative myasthenia gravis for 10 years. Whole‐genome sequencing identified compound heterozygous POLG mutations, highlighting its value in diagnosing refractory neuromuscular disorders.

A Novel Dysferlin‐Binding Kinase CK2α Promotes Plasma Membrane Repair in Dysferlinopathy

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
When the cell membrane is injured, extracellular calcium enters the cell, triggering the accumulation of dysferlin at the lesion site. In the presence of dysferlin, CK2 is efficiently recruited to the damaged membrane and maintains its kinase activity through interaction with dysferlin.

Altered myogenesis and premature senescence underlie human TRIM32-related myopathy [PDF]

, 2019
TRIM32 is a E3 ubiquitin -ligase containing RING, B-box, coiled-coil and six C-terminal NHL domains. Mutations involving NHL and coiled-coil domains result in a pure myopathy (LGMD2H/STM) while the only described mutation in the B-box domain is ...

RUNX2 Activation in Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors Promotes Muscle Fibrosis in Muscular Dystrophy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
This study revealed a novel role of the chemokine‐TGF‐β1‐RUNX2 axis in determining the fate of FAP differentiation and modulating muscle fibrosis in patients and mice with muscular dystrophies. ABSTRACT Clinical evidence indicates concurrent muscle inflammation and fibrosis in muscular dystrophies (MDs); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying ...
