Distrofias musculares congénitas

open access: yesRevista Médica Clínica Las Condes, 2018
Resumen: Las distrofias musculares congénitas (DMC) son enfermedades musculares hereditarias muy heterogéneas. Su diagnóstico se basa en criterios histológicos (signos distróficos en músculo) y clínicos (de inicio neonatal o durante la infancia precoz ...

Limb girdle muscular dystrophy 23 caused by compound heterozygous mutations of LAMA2 gene

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
IntroductionMutations of LAMA2 gene are associated with congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD). The LAMA2-related CMD mainly consists of two diseases, merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophies type 1A (MDC1A) and limb girdle muscular dystrophy 23 ...

Expression and methylation status of LAMA2 are associated with the invasiveness of nonfunctioning PitNET

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
The laminin subunit alpha 2 (LAMA2) gene encodes an alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin).

Using Multiple Anthropomorphic Measures to Estimate Height in Muscular Dystrophies and Its Impact on Lung Function

open access: yesPediatric Pulmonology, Volume 60, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Background An accurate height estimate is important for assessing pulmonary function, and body mass index. If a patient cannot stand, an accurate standing height cannot be directly measured. Knee‐heel length, arm span, ulnar length, and tibial length have been studied in otherwise healthy populations as single measurements for height ...

In a cohort of 961 clinically suspected Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, 105 were diagnosed to have other muscular dystrophies (OMDs), with LGMD2E (variant SGCB c.544A>C) being the most common

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2024.
All the LGMDs molecularly confirmed in this study were the ones clinically suspected to be DMD/BMD. Here in this study, we have attempted to understand age at onset in the patients, could be a differentiating factor to distinguish DMD/BMD from other muscular dystrophies.

Midbrain and Hindbrain Involvement in Lissencephaly

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 2009
Involvement of the midbrain and hindbrain (MHB) in the various groups of lissencephalies was examined in an MRI study of 111 patients (aged 1 day to 32 years; mean 5 years 4 months) studied at University of California San Francisco, and centers in France,

Protein‐extending ACTN2 frameshift variants cause variable myopathy phenotypes by protein aggregation

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 2392-2405, September 2024.
Abstract Objective The objective of the study is to characterize the pathomechanisms underlying actininopathies. Distal myopathies are a group of rare, inherited muscular disorders characterized by progressive loss of muscle fibers that begin in the distal parts of arms and legs. Recently, variants in a new disease gene, ACTN2, have been shown to cause

Epilepsy, epileptiform discharges and features of brain magnetic resonance imaging in merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy

open access: yesЭпилепсия и пароксизмальные состояния
Background. Merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy (MDMD) is a neuromuscular disease resulting from the emergence of biallelic variants in the LAMA2 gene and manifested by progressive muscle weakness, diffuse hypotonia, impaired posture, contractures of ...

Variable disease severity in Saudi Arabian and Sudanese families with c.3924 + 2 T > C mutation of LAMA2

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A is caused by mutations in the LAMA2 gene that encodes the laminin α2 chain, a component of the skeletal muscle extracellular matrix protein laminin-211.
