Detection of the Duplication in Exons 56-63 of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Patients with MLPA
Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a deadly X-linked recessive disorder. This genetic disorder affects 1 among 3,500-5,000 males in the world. The majority of the patients are male, due to the type of inheritance. It affects most of the skeletal, the respiratory, and cardiac muscles, causing these vital organs to contract and eventually mortality.<br...
متن کاملMivacurium for muscle relaxation in a child with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
I n a 5-yr-old boy with Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD), the repeated administration of mivacurium 0.13 mg/kg was associated with a normal dose-response relationship and time from end of injection to twitch recovery to 25% of control (DUR25%) and a twofold normal recovery index (time from 25% to 75% recovery). There was no difference between electromyogram (EMG) and mechanical twitch tensio...
متن کاملCirculating Muscle-specific miRNAs in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Patients
Noninvasive biomarkers with diagnostic value and prognostic applications have long been desired to replace muscle biopsy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. Growing evidence indicates that circulating microRNAs are biomarkers to assess pathophysiological status. Here, we show that the serum levels of six muscle-specific miRNAs (miR-1/206/133/499/208a/208b, also known as myomiRs) wer...
متن کاملScoliosis in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
espite recent research developments, Duchenne muscular dystrophy remains a fatal neuromuscular disease, affecting two to three boys in 10,000. It is an inherited X-linked recessive condition caused by a frameshift mutation in the dystrophin gene at the Xp21.2 locus of the X chromosome. Dystrophin is a large cell-membrane protein involved in calcium transport in the muscle cell. Boys with Duchen...
متن کاملCardiac Dysrhythmias, Cardiomyopathy and Muscular Dystrophy in Patients with Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy and Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 1B
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B (LGMD1B) are characterized by cardiac dysrhythmias, late-onset cardiomyopathy, slowly progressive skeletal myopathy and contractures of the neck, elbows and ankles. The causative mutation is either in the emerin gene (X-linked recessive EDMD) or lamin A/C gene (autosomal dominant EDMD2 or LGMD1B). We report thre...
