SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 285-295, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.

Advances in diagnosis and treatment of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

open access: yesChinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2017
Limb - girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of disorders caused by gene mutations, with proximal muscle weakness as their main manifestation. Although various subtypes of LGMD share the common feature, heterogenity exist both in clinical phenotype

Kelch proteins: emerging roles in skeletal muscle development and diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Our understanding of genes that cause skeletal muscle disease has increased tremendously over the past three decades. Advances in approaches to genetics and genomics have aided in the identification of new pathogenic mechanisms in rare genetic disorders ...

Acute Liver Failure With Transient Liver Steatosis Following Multiple Hits Postoperatively in a Patient With Limb‐Girdle Muscular Dystrophy: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Transient liver steatosis is rarely described. A fast development of liver steatosis leading to acute liver failure (ALF) is, to our knowledge, rarely observed. It is so far observed and published in acute fatty liver of pregnancy, and in a few cases of ALF. However, it is observed in elective surgery for pancreaticoduodenectomy and some cases

Muscle Imaging in Inclusion Body Myositis: Refinement of MRI Criteria and Insights Into Upper Body Involvement

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of inclusion body myositis (IBM) can be delayed because of its heterogeneous clinical presentation and the lack of specific biomarkers. Muscle imaging has gained increasing relevance over the past decade and is now included among the supportive criteria in the international diagnostic guidelines.

Statistical Test of Expression Pattern (STEPath): a new strategy to integrate gene expression data with genomic information in individual and meta-analysis studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background In the last decades, microarray technology has spread, leading to a dramatic increase of publicly available datasets. The first statistical tools developed were focused on the identification of significant differentially expressed genes. Later,

Cardiomyopathies and Arrythmias in Neuromuscular Diseases

open access: yesCardiogenetics
Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) encompass various hereditary conditions affecting motor neurons, the neuromuscular junction, and skeletal muscles. These disorders are characterized by progressive muscle weakness and can manifest at different stages of life,

Value of muscle magnetic resonance imaging in the differential diagnosis of muscular dystrophies related to the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2019
Background Dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC)-related muscular dystrophies may present similar clinical and pathological features as well as undetectable mutations thus being sometimes difficult to distinguish.
