Circulating small RNA signatures differentiate accurately the subtypes of muscular dystrophies: small-RNA next-generation sequencing analytics and functional insights

RNA Biology, 2022
Muscular dystrophies are a group of rare and severe inherited disorders mainly affecting the muscle tissue. Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, Myotonic Dystrophy types 1 and 2, Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy are some ...

Dysphagia in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Neurology, 2006
Dysphagia is not considered a symptom of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). In this study, the authors found that dysphagia does occur in patients with advanced FSHD showing mild involvement of the jaw and lingual muscles. Dysphagia is seldom life threatening in these patients. The authors conclude that dysphagia should not be considered an

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2015
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is characterized by a typical and asymmetric pattern of muscle involvement and disease progression. Two forms of FSHD, FSHD1 and FSHD2, have been identified displaying identical clinical phenotype but different genetic and epigenetic basis.

Reprogramming of adult human peripheral blood mononuclear cells into hiPSCs from two patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1

Stem Cell Research, 2022
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common muscular dystrophy. FSHD type 1 (FSHD1) is caused by multicopy contraction of D4Z4 repeats on chromosome 4q35.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in the dutch population [PDF]

Muscle & Nerve, 1995
Extrapolating the figures from a previous study on FSHD in a province of The Netherlands to the entire Dutch population suggests that at present a nearly complete overview is obtained of all symptomatic kindred. In 139 families, dominant inheritance was observed in 97, a pattern compatible with germline mosaicism in 6, while sporadic cases were found ...

Sarcopenic Obesity in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
BackgroundSarcopenic obesity has been observed in people with neuromuscular impairment, and is linked to adverse health outcomes. It is unclear, however, if sarcopenic obesity develops in adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD ...
