Role of physiological ClC-1 Cl- ion channel regulation for the excitability and function of working skeletal muscle. [PDF]
Electrical membrane properties of skeletal muscle fibers have been thoroughly studied over the last five to six decades. This has shown that muscle fibers from a wide range of species, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, are all ...

Neurocognitive Disorder in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Cognitive deficits and abnormal cognitive aging have been associated with Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), but the knowledge of the extent and progression of decline is limited. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of signs of neurocognitive disorder (mild cognitive impairment and dementia) in adult patients with DM1.

Muscleblind-like protein 1 nuclear sequestration is a molecular pathology marker of DM1 and DM2
Myotonic dystrophies (DM) are repeat expansion diseases in which expanded CTG (DM1) and CCTG (DM2) repeats cause the disease. Mutant transcripts containing CUG/CCUG repeats are retained in muscle nuclei producing ribonuclear inclusions, which can bind ...

High-throughput analysis of the RNA-induced silencing complex in myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients identifies the dysregulation of miR-29c and its target ASB2 [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multi-systemic disorder caused by abnormally expanded stretches of CTG DNA triplets in the DMPK gene, leading to mutated-transcript RNA-toxicity.

Co‐Occurring Non‐Cardiac Congenital Anomalies Among Cases With Congenital Heart Defects
ABSTRACT Cases with congenital heart defects (CHD) often have other associated anomalies. The aim of this investigation was to assess the prevalence and the types of co‐occurring anomalies in CHD in a well‐defined population. The anomalies co‐occurring with CHD were ascertained in all live births, stillbirths and terminations of pregnancy for fetal ...
