Dystrophin in Limb-Girdle Dystrophy

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 1991
Dystrophin content in muscle was analyzed by both immunofluorescence and immunoblot in 41 patients with a clinical diagnosis of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy seen at the National Institute of Neuroscience, Tokyo, Japan over a 12-year period.

Solution structure of the inner DysF domain of myoferlin and implications for limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2b [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mutations in the protein dysferlin, a member of the ferlin family, lead to limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Myoshi myopathy. The ferlins are large proteins characterised by multiple C2 domains and a single C-terminal membrane-spanning helix ...

Genetic screening of an endemic mutation in the DYSF gene in an isolated, mountainous population in the Republic of Dagestan

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2023
Background Dysferlinopathy has a high prevalence in relatively isolated ethnic groups where consanguineous marriages are characteristic and/or the founder effect exists.

Whole‐Body Pattern of Muscle Degeneration and Progression in Sarcoglycanopathies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize whole‐body intramuscular fat distribution pattern in patients with sarcoglycanopathies and explore correlations with disease severity, duration and age at onset. Methods Retrospective, cross‐sectional, multicentric study enrolling patients with variants in one of the four sarcoglycan genes who underwent whole‐body ...

The relative frequency of common neuromuscular diagnoses in a reference center

open access: yesArquivos 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 ...

Cracking the Code: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation Models in Sarcoglycanopathies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Sarcoglycanopathies are among the most severe limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), though milder presentations have been described. These diseases are primarily caused by missense variants, but the limited predictability of their effect on protein maturation, complex formation, and transport has hindered reliable genotype ...

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

open access: yesAnimal 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 ...

Glycogenin-1 deficiency mimicking limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2020
Glycogen storage disease type XV (GSD XV) is a recently described muscle glycogenosis due to glycogenin-1 (GYG1) deficiency characterized by the presence of polyglucosan bodies on muscle biopsy (Polyglucosan body myopathy-2, PGBM2). Here we describe a 44
