Role of DYSF Genetic Variant in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy: A Case Report

نویسندگان

چکیده

Introduction: Muscular dystrophy is a hereditary degenerative muscle disease which progressively reduces the strength of muscles that control movement. In this study, we tried to investigate genetic variants in muscular using sequencing whole exons. Case Presentation: A family with two affected patients was referred for counseling followed by exome testing on proband. After filling out informed consent, blood samples were obtained from each available member. Candidate variant confirmed Sanger sequencing. Conclusions: Exome data analysis revealed c.2864 + 1G > proband, altered exon-intron 26 splice site within DYSF gene. Genetic changes gene are known be associated disorders, such as limb-girdle and other dysferlinopathies. Assessment patient's sister also showed homozygous variant. Since married her cousin, same tested husband, normal homozygous. NGS-based techniques, including whole-exome sequencing, can identify molecular basis families dystrophy. The results helpful identifying potential carriers prenatal diagnosis involved.

Association of Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy with multiple sclerosis: A case report

Background: The association of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) with other neurological disorders is uncommon. Case presentation: We report a 25-year-old female with LGMD who suffered from slowly progressive proximal muscular weakness and atrophy since she was 12 years of age. The patient recently presented with acute loss of left side visual acuity. After evaluation, findings were sugges...

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD): Case Report.

We report a young male of autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) with positive family history presented with gradual onset proximal muscle weakness in all four limbs since eight years and thinning of shoulders, arms and thighs. Neurological examination revealed atrophy of both shoulders with wasting of both deltoids thinning of thighs and pseudo hypertrophy of both calves, hy...
