Chemical compound and disease context of Distal Myopathies

 

Biological context of Distal Myopathies

  • This probable localization of a gene for distal myopathy, MPD1, on chromosome 14 should allow other investigators studying distal myopathy families to test this region for linkage in other types of the disease, to confirm linkage or to demonstrate the likely genetic heterogeneity [7].
  • Four different phenotypes have been associated with CAV3 mutations: limb girdle muscular dystrophy-1C (LGMD-1C), rippling muscle disease (RMD), and distal myopathy (DM), as well as idiopathic and familial hyperCKemia (HCK) [13].

Gene context of Distal Myopathies

  • As such, our current results may be important in understanding the pathogenesis of Cav-3-related muscle diseases, such as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy-1C, distal myopathy, and rippling muscle disease, that are caused by mutations within the human Cav-3 gene [16].
  • Mutations in the gene encoding caveolin-3 (CAV3) underlie four distinct disorders of skeletal muscle: the autosomal dominant form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1C (LGMD-1C), rippling muscle disease (RMD), sporadic and familial forms of hyperCKemia, and distal myopathy [17].
  • Laing early onset distal myopathy: slow myosin defect with variable abnormalities on muscle biopsy [18].
  • The desmuslin protein interacts with and is closely related to desmin, a protein encoded by a locus mutated in some forms of hereditary distal myopathy [19].
  • We examined 19 muscle biopsies from 14 patients with autosomal recessive distal muscular dystrophy (DisMD) histochemically and immunohistochemically to characterize the histologic features of this disease and to determine whether dystrophin and dystrophin-associated proteins (DAPs) are normally present in the muscles of patients with this disorder [20].
