Cardiomyopathy of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. [PDF]

, 1994
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to find an association between dilated cardiomyopathy and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. BACKGROUND: Cardiomyopathy has been seen in various neuromuscular disorders, but it has not been recognized to be associated with limb-

Proteomic profiling of Duchenne muscular dystrophy : protein patterns and candidate markers of disease [PDF]

, 2011
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene is a severe chronic muscle-wasting disease leading to early loss of ambulation in patients and to death by the third decade.

A case of dysferlinopathy (Miyoshi distal myopathy limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2b phenotype) from a tertiary care hospital

International Journal of Advances in Medicine, 2023
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi myopathy are caused by similar mutations in the dysferlin gene. The phenotype of these allelic disease variants can vary considerably.

Crystal structures of the human Dysferlin inner DysF domain [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Mutations in dysferlin, the first protein linked with the cell membrane repair mechanism, causes a group of muscular dystrophies called dysferlinopathies.

Transgenic Overexpression of LARGE Induces alpha-Dystroglycan Hyperglycosylation in Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle [PDF]

, 2010
Background: LARGE is one of seven putative or demonstrated glycosyltransferase enzymes defective in a common group of muscular dystrophies with reduced glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan.

Homologous recombination mediates functional recovery of dysferlin deficiency following AAV5 gene transfer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The dysferlinopathies comprise a group of untreatable muscle disorders including limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B, Miyoshi myopathy, distal anterior compartment syndrome, and rigid spine syndrome.

Clinical, pathological, imaging, and genetic characterization in a Taiwanese cohort with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically heterogeneous, hereditary disease characterized by limb-girdle weakness and histologically dystrophic changes.

Dysferlin interacts with tubulin and microtubules in mouse skeletal muscle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Dysferlin is a type II transmembrane protein implicated in surface membrane repair in muscle. Mutations in dysferlin lead to limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B, Miyoshi Myopathy and distal anterior compartment myopathy.

Linker molecules between laminins and dystroglycan ameliorate laminin-alpha2-deficient muscular dystrophy at all disease stages [PDF]

, 2007
Mutations in laminin-alpha2 cause a severe congenital muscular dystrophy, called MDC1A. The two main receptors that interact with laminin-alpha2 are dystroglycan and alpha7beta1 integrin.

Increased nonHDL cholesterol levels cause muscle wasting and ambulatory dysfunction in the mouse model of LGMD2B

Journal of Lipid Research, 2018
Progressive limb and girdle muscle atrophy leading to loss of ambulation is a hallmark of dysferlinopathies, which include limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Miyoshi myopathy.
