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 ...

Evidence for a dominant-negative effect in ACTA1 nemaline myopathy caused by abnormal folding, aggregation and altered polymerization of mutant actin isoforms [PDF]
We have studied a cohort of nemaline myopathy (NM) patients with mutations in the muscle α-skeletal actin gene (ACTA1). Immunoblot analysis of patient muscle demonstrates increased γ-filamin, myotilin, desmin and α-actinin in many NM patients, consistent

Rare mutations in SQSTM1 modify susceptibility to frontotemporal lobar degeneration [PDF]
Mutations in the gene coding for Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) have been genetically associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Paget disease of bone. In the present study, we analyzed the SQSTM1 coding sequence for mutations in an extended cohort

Mitochondrial dynamics–fusion, fission, movement, and mitophagy–in neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
Neurons are metabolically active cells with high energy demands at locations distant from the cell body. As a result, these cells are particularly dependent on mitochondrial function, as reflected by the observation that diseases of mitochondrial ...

Congenital muscular dystrophy: a clinical report on 17 patients [PDF]
We concur with the idea that congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) is a distinct clinical entity, and report 17 patients (2 negroes and 15 whites; 12M and 5 F; median age 6 years, range 1 to 24 years) with genetic, clinical, laboratorial ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: more complex than it appears [PDF]
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has been classified as an autosomal dominant myopathy, linked to rearrangements in an array of 3.3 kb tandemly repeated DNA elements (D4Z4) located at the 4q subtelomere (4q35).

Distrofia muscular congênita. Parte II: revisão da patogênese e perspectivas terapêuticas [PDF]
The congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous hereditary myopathies with preferentially autosomal recessive inheritance, that are characterized by congenital hypotonia, delayed motor development and ...
