OXPHOS complex deficiency in congenital myopathy: A systematic review
This systematic review assessed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex dysfunction in genetically confirmed congenital myopathies (CM). Among 5841 studies screened, 23 publications, comprising 45 CM cases, met the inclusion criteria. OXPHOS dysfunction was identified in 78% of cases, particularly where enzymology was performed, with RYR1 most ...

Disrupted autophagy undermines skeletal muscle adaptation and integrity [PDF]
This review assesses the importance of proteostasis in skeletal muscle maintenance with a specific emphasis on autophagy. Skeletal muscle appears to be particularly vulnerable to genetic defects in basal and induced autophagy, indicating that autophagy ...

Congenital dyserythropoiesis and polymyopathy without cardiac disease in male Labrador retriever littermates. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Two Labrador retriever littermates were identified based on incidentally noted marked microcytosis and inappropriate metarubricytosis. Muscle atrophy was noted and associated with distinctive pathological findings in biopsy samples from 1 dog

X-LINKED RECESSIVE MYOTUBULAR MYOPATHY [PDF]
We studied a family with four neonatal deaths due to X-linked myotubular myopathy. The cardinal features of the two index patients included low Apgar scores, weak respiratory efforts requiring intubation and positive pressure ventilation, flaccidity, lethargy, hypotonia, reduced muscle mass, no spontaneous movements, poor grasp, suck, and Moro reflexes,

ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia is a systemic skeletal muscle disease that seriously affects the health of the aged population. Exercise prevents sarcopenia, but the underlying mechanobiological and metabolic mechanisms need to be further investigated. Methods Carnitine and organic cation transporter 2 (OCTN2) levels were assessed in humans and animals ...

Structural rationale to understand the effect of disease-associated mutations on Myotubularin
Myotubularin or MTM1 is a lipid phosphatase that regulates vesicular trafficking in the cell. The MTM1 gene is mutated in a severe form of muscular disease, X-linked myotubular myopathy or XLMTM, affecting 1 in 50,000 newborn males worldwide.

Current preclinical studies of AAV‐mediated gene therapy explore different strategies based on the characteristics of inner ear diseases. For genetic hearing loss, approaches include the replacement of a “good gene,” removal of a “bad gene,” or direct correction of mutations through base editing.

A phylogenetic survey of myotubularin genes of eukaryotes: distribution, protein structure, evolution, and gene expression [PDF]
Background Phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) lipids, produced and modified by PtdIns kinases and phosphatases, are critical to the regulation of diverse cellular functions.
