MRI of tibialis anterior skeletal muscle in myotonic dystrophy type 1.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used as a noninvasive approach to assessment of disease severity and muscle damage in Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1). METHODS The MRI findings in legs of 41 patients with DM1 were evaluated with respect to the tibialis anterior (TA) skeletal muscle impairment. Magnetic resonance imaging findings w...
متن کاملMuscle MRI in myotonic dystrophy type 1 with foot drop.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of muscle MRI findings and gait disturbance in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients. Thirteen patients with DM1 were evaluated by manual muscle strength test and muscle MRI of the lower limb. All DM1 patients presenting with foot drop showed high intensity signals in the tibialis anterior muscles on T1-weighted imaging (p < 0.001...
متن کاملOverexpression of CUGBP1 in Skeletal Muscle from Adult Classic Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 but Not from Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) are progressive multisystemic disorders caused by similar mutations at two different genetic loci. The common key feature of DM pathogenesis is nuclear accumulation of mutant RNA which causes aberrant alternative splicing of specific pre-mRNAs by altering the functions of two RNA binding proteins, MBNL1 and CUGBP1. However, DM1 and DM2 show disea...
متن کاملTibialis Anterior Muscle Needle Biopsy and Sensitive Biomolecular Methods: A Useful Tool in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in 3'UTR of DMPK gene. This mutation causes accumulation of toxic RNA in nuclear foci leading to splicing misregulation of specific genes. In view of future clinical trials with antisense oligonucleotides in DM1 patients, it is important to set up sensitive and minimally-invasive tools to monitor the ef...
متن کاملMyotonic dystrophy type 1
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a distal myopathy and a multisystem disease occurring with an incidence of 1/8000, as a result of a CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the serinetreonine-protein kinase (DMPK) coding gene on chromosome 19q13.3. In DM1 patients the length of the CTG expansion ranges from 50 to 4000. Disease severity correlates with repeat length and the phenomenon of genetic...
