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

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

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]
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
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,
