1. Inflammatory myopathy in the context of an unusual overlapping laminopathy
Summary Laminopathies are genetic disorders associated with alterations in nuclear envelope proteins, known as lamins. The LMNA gene encodes lamins A and C, and LMNA mutations have been linked to diseases involving fat (type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy [FPLD2]), muscle (type 2 Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy [EDMD2], type 1B limb-girdle muscular dys

2. Distrofia muscular cinturas tipo 2A em crianças brasileiras
RESUMO Calpainopatia é uma distrofia muscular de cinturas autossômica recessiva (LGMD2A) causada por mutações no gene CAPN3. Objetivo Apresentar os aspectos clínicos e histológicos em seis crianças com diagnostico molecular de LGMD2A e adicionalmente os achados na RNM de músculo em duas delas. Método Nos retrospectivamente analisamos os dados de

3. Neurotrophins, cytokines, oxidative parameters and funcionality in Progressive Muscular Dystrophies
Nós investigamos os níveis do Fator Neurotrófico Derivado do Cérebro (BDNF), citosinas e parâmetros oxidativos em soro e correlacionamos com a idade e funcionalidade dos pacientes com Distrofias Musculares Progressivas (PMD). Os pacientes foram separados em seis grupos (casos e controles pareados por idade e sexo), como segue: Distrofia Muscular de Duch

4. Distrofia muscular de cinturas em crianças brasileiras: caracterização clínica, histologia e molecular
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic muscular dystrophies, involving 16 autosomal recessive subtypes and eight autosomal dominant subtypes. Autosomal recessive dystrophy is far more common than autosomal dominant dystrophy, particularly in children. The clinical course in this group is characterized by progressive prox

5. Desvio de segregação em humanos / Segregation distortion in humans
The transmission ratio distortion (TRD), a biological process defined as a deviation from Mendelian predictions, is caused by different mechanisms: nonrandom segregation of chromosomes during meiosis or gametic and postzygotic viability selection. In order to investigate TRD in humans, we have studied a family with an overtransmitted pathogenic deletion in t

6. Distrofias musculares progressivas de cinturas tipo 2: perfil epidemiolÃgico no estado do Cearà / Muscular Dystrophies progressive of waists type 2: profile epidemiologist in the state of CearÃ, Northeast of Brazil
Objective: To report the clinical and muscle biopsy findings from the recessive forms of limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD type 2) seen in the state of CearÃ, Northeast of Brazil. Design: Case series. Setting: Tertiary care clinic, University hospital. Patients and Methods: We studied 41 patients from 32 families with chronic progressive weakness in a

7. A first missense mutation in the delta sarcoglycan gene associated with a severe phenotype and frequency of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2F (LGMD2F) in Brazilian sarcoglycanopathies.
Among the heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (AR LGMDs), the sarcoglycanopathies (LGMD2C-2F) represent a subgroup characterised by defects in the gamma, alpha, beta, and delta sarcoglycan genes, respectively. Genotype-phenotype correlations in these forms of AR LGMD are important to enhance our understanding of protei

8. Main clinical features of the three mapped autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies and estimated proportion of each form in 13 Brazilian families.
Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (AR LGMD) represent a group of muscle diseases with a wide spectrum of clinical signs, varying from very severe to mild. Four different loci that when mutated cause the AR LGMD phenotype have been mapped or cloned or both: in two of them the linked families seem to have a relatively mild phenotype (LGMD2a

9. Evidence of genetic heterogeneity in the autosomal recessive adult forms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy following linkage analysis with 15q probes in Brazilian families.
The autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) represent a heterogeneous group of diseases which may be characterised by one or more autosomal loci. A gene at 15q has recently been found to be responsible for a mild form of LGMD in a group of families from the isolated island of Réunion, now classified as LGMD2. Based on results of eight ou

10. Mutational diversity and hot spots in the alpha-sarcoglycan gene in autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy (LGMD2D).
Sarcoglycanopathies are a genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies in which the primary defect may reside in any of the genes coding for the different partners of the sarcolemmal sarcoglycan (SG) complex: the alpha-SG (LGMD2D at 17q21.2), the beta-SG (LGMD2E at 4q12), the gamma-SG (LGMD2C at 13q12), and the delta-SG (LGMD2F

11. Estimate of severe autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2C, LGMD2D) among sporadic muscular dystrophy males: a study of 415 familes.
Ninety-five percent of cases of severe muscular dystrophy with early childhood onset result from mutations in the dystrophin region of the human X chromosome (DMD, McKusick 310200), whereas 5% are thought to result from mutations in autosomal genes. We examined a total of 415 families with at least one living patient whose clinical features suggested DMD. Ba

12. Full Functional Rescue of a Complete Muscle (TA) in Dystrophic Hamsters by Adeno-Associated Virus Vector-Directed Gene Therapy
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2F is caused by mutations in the δ-sarcoglycan (SG) gene. Previously, we have shown successful application of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector for genetic and biochemical rescue in the Bio14.6 hamster, a homologous animal model for LGMD 2F (J. Li et al., Gene Ther. 6:74–82, 1999). In this report, we s
