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.

A Novel Dysferlin‐Binding Kinase CK2α Promotes Plasma Membrane Repair in Dysferlinopathy

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
When the cell membrane is injured, extracellular calcium enters the cell, triggering the accumulation of dysferlin at the lesion site. In the presence of dysferlin, CK2 is efficiently recruited to the damaged membrane and maintains its kinase activity through interaction with dysferlin.

MyomiRs Expression in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy

IUBMB Life, Volume 77, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT This manuscript is a comprehensive review focused on the role of microRNAs (miRs)—short RNA molecules—in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). LGMD encompasses various and heterogeneous rare genetic neuromuscular diseases, characterized by the progressive wasting and deterioration of muscle fibers, predominantly affecting the pelvic and ...

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.

Miyoshi Myopathy: A Case Report [PDF]

, 2005
We report a 25-year-old man who manifested typical symptoms of Miyoshi myopathy with brief review of literatures. Miyoshi myopathy is a rare distal myopathy which develops between 15 and 30 years of age and starts from the distal muscles, especially ...

Dysferlinopathy: Spectrum of pathological changes in skeletal muscle tissue

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2011
Background: Dysferlinopathy is an autosomal recessive-limb girdle muscular dystrophy (AR-LGMD) caused due to the defect in gene encoding dysferlin, a sarcolemmal protein.

High‐Density Lipoprotein‐Associated Cholesterol Abnormalities in a Clinical Outcomes Study of Dysferlin‐Deficient Limb–Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type R2

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy (MD) type R2 (LGMDR2, formerly LGMD2B) is an autosomal recessive form of MD caused by variants in the dysferlin gene, DYSF. It leads to slow proximal and distal muscle weakening that generally results in loss of ambulation around early adulthood but without the lethal cardiorespiratory dysfunction ...

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

High‐throughput screening identifies bazedoxifene as a potential therapeutic for dysferlin‐deficient limb girdle muscular dystrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 13, Page 2930-2949, July 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy R2 (LGMD R2) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive weakness and wasting of proximal muscles. LGMD R2 is caused by the loss of function of dysferlin, a transmembrane protein crucial for plasma membrane repair in 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 ...
