Diagnosis of Cardiac Abnormalities in Muscular Dystrophies
Muscular disorders are mainly characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. There are several aspects that can be monitored, which are used to differentiate between the types of muscular disorders, ranging from the targeted muscle up to the ...

Orofacial Manifestations Associated with Muscular Dystrophies: A Review
The aim of this review is to evaluate the developmental, functional, and morphological aspects of the craniofacial complex in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), and Duchenne muscular dystrophy ...

Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetically determined muscular disorders marked by progressive wasting and weakness of the skeletal muscle, but which often affect cardiac and smooth muscles or other tissues. The patterns of inheritance are either dominant or recessive although the gene may be defective because of a new mutation.

Circulating Biomarkers in Muscular Dystrophies: Disease and Therapy Monitoring
Muscular dystrophies are a group of inherited disorders that primarily affect the muscle tissues. Across the muscular dystrophies, symptoms commonly compromise the quality of life in all areas of functioning.

Clinical and genetic characteristics of congenital muscular dystrophies (part 2)
Dystroglycanopathy is one of the groups of congenital muscular dystrophies, the occurrence of which is associated with a disorder of α-dystroglycan glycosylation. To date, 18 genes responsible for the development of this condition are known. The 2nd part

Implications of notch signaling in duchenne muscular dystrophy
This review focuses upon the implications of the Notch signaling pathway in muscular dystrophies, particularly Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD): a pervasive and catastrophic condition concerned with skeletal muscle degeneration.

Role of Immunoglobulins in Muscular Dystrophies and Inflammatory Myopathies
Muscular dystrophies and inflammatory myopathies are heterogeneous muscular disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and mass loss. Despite the high variability of etiology, inflammation and involvement of both innate and adaptive immune ...

The muscular dystrophies [PDF]
In 1879 William Gowers, the eminent British neurologist, painted a remarkably lucid word picture of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in his series of lectures on pseudohypertrophic muscular paralysis, published in the Lancet.' This disease, he said, is one of the most interesting, and at the same time most sad, of all those with which we have to deal ...
