Dysferlinopathy: A Case Report and Literature Update

İstanbul Medical Journal, 2016
Dysferlinopathy is a rare autosomal recessive myopathy, resulting in the lack or absence of dysferlin production caused by mutations in the encoding gene.

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 ...

Genetic analysis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy and Miyoshi myopathy [PDF]

, 2003
The autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies encompass limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and Miyoshi myopathy (MM), which can show clinical and genetic overlap.

Home-based gait analysis as an exploratory endpoint during a multicenter phase 1 trial in limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R2 and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

, 2022
peer reviewedINTRODUCTION/AIMS: Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMDR2) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) are genetic muscular dystrophies with an increasing number of potential therapeutic approaches.

Treatment with galectin-1 improves myogenic potential and membrane repair in dysferlin-deficient models.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) is caused by mutations in the dysferlin gene, resulting in non-functional dysferlin, a key protein found in muscle membrane.

With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...

Optical mapping reveals a higher level of large‐scale structural variants in a family with paternally transmitted myotonic dystrophy and independent Parkinson's disease

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a clinically challenging multisystem neuromuscular hereditary disorder, with generational increase in severity and earlier age at onset. It is caused by an unstable cytosine‐thymine‐guanine repeat expansion at the DMPK locus, accompanied by associated genetic and epigenetic modifications.

Studies on muscular dystrophy associated genes [PDF]

, 2007
Muscular dystrophy is a collective group of genetic disorder that results in progressive wasting of skeletal muscle. Dysferlin, the gene responsible for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM) was found to be a member of

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.

Lack of correlation between outcomes of membrane repair assay and correction of dystrophic changes in experimental therapeutic strategy in dysferlinopathy.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Mutations in the dysferlin gene are the cause of Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B and Miyoshi Myopathy. The dysferlin protein has been implicated in sarcolemmal resealing, leading to the idea that the pathophysiology of dysferlin deficiencies is ...
