Telethonin protein expression in neuromuscular disorders.
Telethonin is a 19-kDa sarcomeric protein, localized to the Z-disc of skeletal and cardiac muscles. Mutations in the telethonin gene cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2G (LGMD2G). We investigated the sarcomeric integrity of muscle fibers in LGMD2G patients, through double immunofluorescence analysis for telethonin with three sarcomeric proteins: titin, alpha-actinin-2, and myotilin and ...
متن کاملCardiomyopathy in neuromuscular disorders
Many neuromuscular disorders affect more than skeletal muscle. Because of the common structural and now more apparent molecular features between skeletal and cardiac muscles, many of the neuromuscular disorders also result in cardiovascular complications. Cardiomyopathy and conduction system diseases are the most frequent extramuscular features seen with many muscular dystrophies. The most comm...
متن کاملNeuromuscular Disorders
Disorders of the neuromuscular unit can result in clinical presentations that range from subtle symptoms to acute respiratory failure with significant morbidity and mortality. In most cases, the pathophysiologic mechanism of these disorders is well understood and permits an organization and understanding based on the level of the nervous system affected. This facilitates an approach that interp...
متن کاملElectrodiagnosis in neuromuscular disorders.
2. The normal sensori-motor nerve conduction with absent F-waves and tendon jerks of a moderately de-saturated semiconscious patient in the intensive care unit may be seen in: a. A classical pattern of critical illness myopathy involving both proximal and distal muscles b. Post-synaptic neuromuscular disorder c. The early stages of motor neuron disease (MND) (axonal loss) before the period of W...
متن کامل[Neuromuscular disorders]
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the most important aspects for the performance of a differential diagnosis among the main neuromuscular disorders in children, which include diseases affecting the motor unity, i.e. spinal motor neurons, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction and muscular fibers. SOURCES: The review of the clinical aspects that should be considered for a prompt differential diagnosis am...
