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 ...

No effective treatment was available for myotonic dystrophy, even in animal model. We have established a new antisense oligonucleotide delivery to skeletal muscle of mice with bubble liposomes, and led to increased expression of chloride channel (CLCN1) protein and the amelioration of myotonia.

Anesthesia for a Patient with Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy is the most common myotonic syndrome causing abnormalities of the skeletal and smooth muscles as well as problems related to the cardiac, gastrointestinal and endocrine systems. In affected people, reduced functional residual capacity,

Changes in pain-related beliefs, coping, and catastrophizing predict changes in pain intensity, pain interference, and psychological functioning in individuals with myotonic muscular dystrophy and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy [PDF]
The primary aim of this study was to test hypothesized associations between changes in psychological variables (i.e., pain beliefs, catastrophizing and coping strategies) and changes in pain intensity and related adjustment (i.e., pain interference and ...

Limited orthodontic treatment in myotonic dystrophy II [PDF]
Rationale. Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is a multisystemic autosomal dominant disease characterized by myotonia and progressive muscular weakness and atrophy. Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe the dental, skeletal and muscular features in

Medication adherence in patients with myotonic dystrophy and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) are the two most common adult muscular dystrophies and have progressive and often disabling manifestations.

Antenatal Indomethacin Treatment for Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal-dominant disorder. Its congenital type is the most severe form, with respiratory failure that can be a life-threatening event after birth. There are no antenatal treatments that can improve neonatal outcomes of myotonic

Myotonic dystrophy is the most common form of muscular dystrophy in adults, with a prevalence of 1 in 8,000. It is a slowly progressive, multi-system disorder that affects skeletal muscles, the heart, gastrointestinal smooth muscle, uterine smooth muscle, the eyes, and the endocrine and central nervous systems.

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.
