169th ENMC International Workshop Rare Structural Congenital Myopathies 6–8 November 2009, Naarden, The Netherlands [PDF]
This international ENMC workshop assembled 18 clinicians and scientists from Europe, the United States of America, South America, Japan and Australia to discuss “Rare Structural Congenital Myopathies (CM)”. This workshop can be considered a follow-up to an earlier one [1], then and now excluding classical CM on which separate workshops have repeatedly ...

Structural and functional alterations of neuromuscular synapses in a mouse model of ACTA1 congenital myopathy [PDF]
AbstractMutations in skeletal muscle α-actin (Acta1) cause a variety of myopathies. In a mouse model of congenital myopathy, heterozygous Acta1 (H40Y) knock-in (Acta1+/Ki) mice exhibit features of human nemaline myopathy, including premature lethality, severe muscle weakness, reduced mobility, and the presence of nemaline rods in muscle fibers. In this

Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy [PDF]
Amphiphysin 2, encoded by BIN1, is a key factor for membrane sensing and remodelling in different cell types. Homozygous BIN1 mutations in ubiquitously expressed exons are associated with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a mildly ...

Progressive Structural Defects in Canine Centronuclear Myopathy Indicate a Role for HACD1 in Maintaining Skeletal Muscle Membrane Systems [PDF]
Mutations in HACD1/PTPLA cause recessive congenital myopathies in humans and dogs. Hydroxyacyl-coA dehydratases are required for elongation of very long chain fatty acids, and HACD1 has a role in early myogenesis, but the functions of this striated ...

Congenital muscular dystrophy: from muscle to brain. [PDF]
Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are a wide group of muscular disorders that manifest with very early onset of muscular weakness, sometime associated to severe brain involvement.The histologic pattern of muscle anomalies is typical of dystrophic ...

Mutation update and genotype-phenotype correlations of novel and previously described mutations in TPM2 and TPM3 causing congenital myopathies [PDF]
Mutations affecting skeletal muscle isoforms of the tropomyosin genes may cause nemaline myopathy, cap myopathy, core-rod myopathy, congenital fiber-type disproportion, distal arthrogryposes, and Escobar syndrome.

Background Cardiac arrhythmias are sometimes encountered in patients with hereditary myopathies and muscular dystrophies. Description of arrhythmias in myopathies and muscular dystrophies is very important, because arrhythmias have a strong impact on the

Congenital muscle disorders with cores: the ryanodine receptor calcium channel paradigm [PDF]
Dysregulation of calcium signals because of defects of the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel (ryanodine receptor; RyR1) is causative of several congenital muscle disorders including malignant hyperthermia (MH; MIM #145600 ...
