Evaluation of quantitative muscle MRI and an intelligent phenotyping housing system as advanced phenotyping methods in a mouse model of calpain 3‐deficient muscular dystrophy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We applied quantitative MRI of the lower limb and automated home‐cage phenotyping to a mouse model of calpainopathy to detect early disease changes. At 15 months, calpain 3‐deficient mice showed increased water T2 values correlating with immune cell infiltration in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, while assessment of motor activity revealed only ...

The Dynamics of Neurofilament Light Chain in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Newborn screening (NBS) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) facilitates early diagnosis and treatment for affected individuals. However, fluid biomarkers that provide early insights into disease activity and outcomes in a neonatal cohort and those unable to access (due to reimbursement criteria) or deferring immediate treatment are lacking ...

Muscular dystrophies, the cytoskeletion and cell adhesion [PDF]

, 2002
Muscular dystrophies are associated with mutations in genes encoding several classes of proteins. These range from extracellular matrix and integral membrane proteins to cytoskeletal proteins, but also include a heteroge-neous group of proteins including

Monoallelic POLR3A Variants Cause Early‐Onset Peripheral Neuropathy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Biallelic variants in genes encoding the RNA polymerase III complex (Pol III) cause a spectrum of neurological disorders primarily affecting the central nervous system. Monoallelic variants have been reported in the POLR3B subunit only, associated with neurodevelopmental disorder, epilepsy, and peripheral neuropathy.

Necroptosis mediates myofibre death in dystrophin-deficient mice

Nature Communications, 2018
Muscular dystrophies are characterised by extensive myofibre cell death. Here Morgan et al. show that RIPK3-mediated necroptosis contributes to myofibre cell death in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and that RIPK3 deletion protects dystrophic mice against ...

The brain in muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1997
Editor,—Lucina wonders why some boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) also have cognitive impairment, and whether it could be related to brain dystrophin.1 Most muscles in DMD show signs of repeated …

Refining the genetics of muscular dystrophies with defective glycosylation of dystroglycan

, 2010
The aberrant glycosylation of α-dystroglycan is associated with a subset of clinically heterogeneous muscular dystrophies collectively referred to as dystroglycanopathies.

Muscular dystrophies and other genetic myopathies

, 2018
Muscular dystrophies are a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous group of progressive muscle diseases. Modern molecular genetic techniques have made it possible to clarify the genetic mutations responsible for most muscular dystrophies.

Cardiovascular Exercise Drives Neuroprotection in a Mouse Model of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 1 Via Rescue of Aberrant Splicing

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1) is a fatal hereditary neurodegenerative disorder with no approved therapies, and gene‐targeting strategies have thus far failed in clinical trials. Exercise remains the only intervention shown to provide clinical benefit in patients with spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), yet the underlying mechanisms remain ...

Clinical and genetic aspects of progressive muscular dystrophies in children [PDF]

, 2022
Introduction. In children, Progressive Muscular Dystrophies (PMD) are a wide group of genetic diseases which affect skeletal muscles by progressive weakness and degeneration, caused by genetic alterations.
