Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2021
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe, progressive, muscle-wasting disease that leads to difficulties with movement and, eventually, to the need for assisted ventilation and premature death. The disease is caused by mutations in DMD (encoding dystrophin) that abolish the production of dystrophin in muscle.

Clinical and genetic characterisation of dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy in a family of Miniature Poodle dogs [PDF]

, 2018
Four full-sibling intact male Miniature Poodles were evaluated at 4–19 months of age. One was clinically normal and three were affected. All affected dogs were reluctant to exercise and had generalised muscle atrophy, a stiff gait and a markedly elevated

Single nuclei transcriptomics of muscle reveals intra-muscular cell dynamics linked to dystrophin loss and rescue

Communications Biology, 2022
A method to isolate and sequence individual nuclei from human and mouse muscle biopsies provides further insight into the mechanisms of dystrophin loss and repair, in the context of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Current Biology, 2000
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.

Triazine-cored polymeric vectors for antisense oligonucleotide delivery in vitro and in vivo

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2020
Background The polymer-based drug/gene delivery is promising for the treatment of inherent or acquire disease, because of the polymer’s structural flexibility, larger capacity for therapeutic agent, low host immunogenicity and less cost.

Decoding the transcriptome of Duchenne muscular dystrophy to the single nuclei level reveals clinical-genetic correlations

Cell Death and Disease, 2023
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease produced by mutations in the dystrophin gene characterized by early onset muscle weakness leading to severe and irreversible disability. The cellular and molecular consequences of the lack of dystrophin in

DUX4 Role in Normal Physiology and in FSHD Muscular Dystrophy

Cells, 2021
In the last decade, the sequence-specific transcription factor double homeobox 4 (DUX4) has gone from being an obscure entity to being a key factor in important physiological and pathological processes.

The quality of life in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2016
We conducted a study to evaluate the quality of life in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy aged 8–18 years, compared with that in matched healthy controls. A total of 85 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy aged 8–18 years and 136 age, sex and living

Cytokines and chemokines as regulators of skeletal muscle inflammation: presenting the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2013
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe inherited muscle disease that affects 1 in 3500 boys worldwide. Infiltration of skeletal muscle by inflammatory cells is an important facet of disease pathophysiology and is strongly associated with disease ...

Muscular dystrophies

The Lancet, 2019
Muscular dystrophies are primary diseases of muscle due to mutations in more than 40 genes, which result in dystrophic changes on muscle biopsy. Now that most of the genes responsible for these conditions have been identified, it is possible to accurately diagnose them and implement subtype-specific anticipatory care, as complications such as cardiac ...
