TALEN-Induced Double-Strand Break Repair of CTG Trinucleotide Repeats

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Trinucleotide repeat expansions involving CTG/CAG triplets are responsible for several neurodegenerative disorders, including myotonic dystrophy and Huntington’s disease. Because expansions trigger the disease, contracting repeat length could be

From molecular convergence to clinical divergence: Comparative pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic trajectories in C9orf72-ALS/FTD and myotonic dystrophy

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease
Short tandem repeat expansions in C9orf72, DMPK, and CNBP genes cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD) and myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2 (DM1/DM2), respectively.

In vivo assessment of muscle membrane properties in myotonic dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
INTRODUCTION: Myotonia in myotonic dystrophy types 1 (DM1) and 2 (DM2) is generally attributed to reduced chloride channel conductance. We used muscle velocity recovery cycles (MVRCs) to investigate muscle membrane properties in DM1 and DM2, with ...

Evaluating Biomechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Masticatory Muscles in Temporomandibular Disorders: A Patient-Centric Approach Using MyotonPRO Measurements

open access: yesBioengineering
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is essential for chewing and speaking functions, as well as for making facial expressions. However, this joint can be affected by disorders, known as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), induced by complex causes that ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 – a multiorgan disorder

open access: yesTidsskrift for Den norske legeforening
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is an autosomal dominant, inherited multiorgan disorder that can affect people of all ages. It is the most prevalent inherited muscular disease in adults. Late diagnosis points to limited knowledge among the medical community that symptoms other than typical muscular symptoms can dominate. The condition often worsens with each

Dentofacial characteristics of growing patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a morphological study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Occlusal traits and craniofacial morphology were studied in growing patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Sixteen patients from 6 to 20 years of age were examined and compared with 16 healthy male individuals matched according to age.
