Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Majority of genes and their protein products responsible for the dystrophies have been identified in recent years. Using molecular studies, now it is possible to establish a precise diagnosis, provide prognosis, detect ...

Muscular dystrophy includes many genetically distinct disorders. The list of causative genes for muscular dystrophy has been expanding rapidly, including those for congenital muscular dystrophies.We review the newly identified causative genes and suggested molecular mechanisms, focusing on glycosylation abnormality of alpha-dystroglycan, collagen VI ...

Muscular dystrophies represent a complex, varied, and important subset of neuromuscular disorders likely to require the care of a pulmonologist. The spectrum of conditions encapsulated by this subset ranges from severe and fatal congenital muscular dystrophies with onset in infancy to mild forms of limb and girdle weakness with onset in adulthood and ...

The muscular dystrophies (MD) are a heterogenous group of genetically determined, variably inherited primary disorders of muscle that progress differently. The various forms can be distinguished by the combination of clinical, genetic and pathologic criteria, confirmation of the muscle biopsy should be with immunohistochemical staining rather than ...

With transition to the genetic era, the number of muscular dystrophies has grown significantly, but so too has our understanding of their pathogenic underpinnings. Clinical features associated with each muscular dystrophy still guide us to the diagnosis. However, improved diagnostic abilities refine and expand phenotypic and genotypic correlates.

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy: the muscular dystrophies
2001Abstract Sweden, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Uruguay and Yugoslavia. However, OPMD is particularly prevalent in the French–Canadian population (1 1000) and in Bukhara Jews living in Israel (1: 600) (Blumen et al. 1997; Brais et al. 1995).

AbstractDuchenne muscular dystrophy, an X‐linked disorder, has an incidence of one in 5000 boys and presents in early childhood with proximal muscle weakness. Untreated boys become wheelchair bound by the age of 12 years and die of cardiorespiratory complications in their late teens to early 20s.

PHOSPHODIESTERS IN MUSCULAR DYSTROPHIES
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1979Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance studies of various normal and dystrophic muscles have demonstrated differences in phosphodiester contents. Dystrophic chicken pectoralis muscle contains elevated levels of the diester SEP, and Duchenne dystrophic human leg muscle lacks the diester GPC. It is shown that SEP may be characteristic of slow fiber types,

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a complex disease characterized by multiple physiologic perturbations, progressively leading to cardiomyopathy, respiratory failure, and, eventually, death. Patients with DMD create unique challenges for the anesthesia team, including management of a difficult airway, avoidance of volatile anesthetics and ...
