Respiratory Muscle Strength in Healthy Children Aged 6 Years and Under: An Observational Study
ABSTRACT Study Question Measurement of respiratory muscle strength is important in the assessment and management of neuromuscular diseases. Reference data are essential for interpretation of clinical findings, but are lacking in infants and young children. This study aimed to provide reference data for maximum inspiratory (PImax) and maximum expiratory

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 ...

Dementia in a Child with Myotubular Myopathy [PDF]
An 8-year old boy with genetically confirmed X-linked myotubular myopathy developed progressively worsening dementia and subclinical seizures at age 5-6 years. Previously, seizures or dementia have been noted in only a small number of myotubular myopathy patients, and only in association with significant metabolic disturbances.

Centronuclear myopathy in a Labrador Retriever presenting for evaluation of a ‘bunny‐hopping’ gait
Abstract A 3‐year‐old female neutered Labrador Retriever presented with a chronic history of ‘bunny‐hopping’ gait, presumed secondary to hip dysplasia. They exhibited moderate exercise intolerance, developing a stiff, short‐strided gait and collapsing into sternal recumbency after a brief period of exercise.

Is Upregulation of Sarcolipin Beneficial or Detrimental to Muscle Function?
Sarcolipin (SLN) is a regulator of sarco/endo plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump and has been shown to be involved in muscle nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) and energy metabolism.

Functional phosphatome requirement for protein homeostasis, networked mitochondria, and sarcomere structure in C. elegans muscle [PDF]
Background: Skeletal muscle is central to locomotion and metabolic homeostasis. The laboratory worm C. elegans has been developed into a genomic model for assessing the genes and signals that regulate muscle development and protein degradation. Past work

ABSTRACT Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins remain understudied with enigmatic sequence features relevant to their functions. Members of the myotubularin‐related protein (MTMR) family contain uncharacterized IDRs. After decades of research on their phosphatase activity, recent work on the C‐terminal IDRs of MTMR7 revealed new ...

Myotubular/centronuclear myopathy and central core disease [PDF]
The term congenital myopathy is applied to muscle disorders presenting with generalized muscle weakness and hypotonia from early infancy with delayed developmental milestones. The congenital myopathies have been classified into various categories based on morphological findings on muscle biopsy.

Disease Trajectories of a Large French Cohort of 142 Congenital Myopathy Patients in Adult Age
ABSTRACT Background Congenital myopathies (CMyo) are a group of rare inherited muscle disorders classified to date according to myopathological features on muscle biopsy. They usually present with an early onset, with a slow or non‐progressive muscle weakness.
