Halofuginone and muscular dystrophy.

Histology and histopathology, 2011
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) include different inherited diseases that all result in progressive muscle degeneration, impaired locomotion and often premature death. The major focus of MD research has been on alleviating the primary genetic deficit - using gene therapy and myoblast-transfer approaches to promote expression of the deficient or mutated ...

Quantifying disease activity in fatty-infiltrated skeletal muscle by IDEAL-CPMG in Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2016
The purpose of this study was to explore the use of iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (IDEAL-CPMG) to simultaneously measure skeletal muscle apparent fat fraction and water

The Expanding Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Muscle Glycogen Storage Disease 0, (GSD0B)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycogen storage disorders are a group of genetic disorders affecting glucose homeostasis in the body. Muscular glycogen stores are essential for liberating glucose for energy supply during bursts of activity and sustained muscle work. Muscle glycogen storage disease 0 (GSD0B) is associated with biallelic variants in GYS1 causing muscular ...

Neuroaxonal Dystrophy With Osteopetrosis Associated With a Novel Biallelic Nonsense Homozygous Variant in BORCS5

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroaxonal dystrophy (NAD) with osteopetrosis syndrome (OMIM # 600329) was first reported in a consanguineous Moroccan Jewish family. However, to date, no genetic variant has been linked to this disease. We report on sibs, born to consanguineous Pakistani parents identified prenatally with cerebral ventriculomegaly and agenesis of the corpus ...

Establishment of a humanized SCA2 mouse model carrying a CAA disruption preventing CAG repeat expansion in pathogenic genes

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we established a mouse model in which CAG repeats do not undergo microsatellite instability (MSI) across generations. A humanized ATXN2 cDNA with four CAA interruptions within 73 CAG expansions was inserted into the Rosa26 locus of C57BL/6J mice. At the same time, a 23 CAG control mouse model was also generated.

Temporal Bayesian classifiers for modelling muscular dystrophy expression data [PDF]

, 2006
The analysis of microarray data from time-series experiments requires specialised algorithms, which take the temporal ordering of the data into account. In this paper we explore a new architecture of Bayesian classifier that can be used to understand how

928-80 Can Electrocardiogram Help to Differentiate Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy from Other Muscular Dystrophies? [PDF]

, 1995
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a rare X-linked muscular disease with a potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia.The purpose of this study was to determine if electrocardiogram (ECG) was useful to differentiate EDMD from other muscular ...

Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxias: Translating Genes to Therapies

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are disabling neurodegenerative genetic conditions affecting balance and coordination. Advancements in genomic testing have improved diagnosis, leading to a new focus on the development of targeted precision therapeutics addressing cellular, biochemical, and genetic disease mechanisms with a resulting emphasis on ...
