Mitochondrial cardiomyopathy with skeletal muscle myopathy caused by m.3260A > G mutation in MT-TL1 gene: a case report [PDF]
Background Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of rare hereditary disorders that primarily affect muscle tissue, and present with muscle weakness, fatigue, exercise intolerance, and muscle pain.

Mitochondrial myopathies [PDF]
Our understanding of mitochondrial diseases (defined restrictively as defects of the mitochondrial respiratory chain) is expanding rapidly. In this review, I will give the latest information on disorders affecting predominantly or exclusively skeletal muscle.The most recently described mitochondrial myopathies are due to defects in nuclear DNA ...

Autophagy in muscle regeneration: potential therapies for myopathies
Autophagy classically functions as a physiological process to degrade cytoplasmic components, protein aggregates, and/or organelles, as a mechanism for nutrient breakdown, and as a regulator of cellular architecture.

Mitochondrial myopathies [PDF]
The mitochondrial myopathies give rise to a diverse group of clinical syndromes, variably involving skeletal muscle and the central nervous system, with onset in childhood or adult life. In vitro studies of mitochondrial metabolism have identified a variety of functional defects of the respiratory chain, predominantly affecting complex I or complex III

Approach to the diagnosis of metabolic myopathies
Metabolic myopathies are a diverse group of genetic disorders that result in impaired energy production. They are individually rare and several have received the 'orphan disorder' status. However, collectively they constitute a relatively common group of

Serum Neurofilament Light Chain: A Marker of Nervous System Damage in Myopathies
Purpose: Neurofilament light chain in serum (sNfL) has been suggested as a biomarker for the assessment of neuroaxonal damage. Since NfL are not expressed in muscle, elevated sNfL in patients with primary myopathies suggest additional nervous system ...

Mitochondrial myopathies: current diagnosis (I) [PDF]
Mitochondrial diseases can present at any age and include a combination of multisystemic symptoms. Major manifestations of muscle involvement include infantile hypotonia, weakness, and lactic acidosis; severe exercise intolerance and easy fatigability ...
