A family with dynamin 2-related centronuclear myopathy without ocular involvement
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 48-year-old man presented with progressive weakness that started in the first decade of his life. He had difficulty climbing stairs since the third decade of his life. The initial neurological examination of the patient revealed a slender myopathic face with temporal muscle atrophy, without ptosis or ophthalmoplegia (Fig. 1A). Motor power examination revealed that the motor powers in his proximal and distal muscles were of A family with dynamin 2-related centronuclear myopathy without ocular involvement

Calcium homeostasis alterations in a mouse model of the Dynamin 2-related centronuclear myopathy
Autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is a rare congenital myopathy characterized by centrally located nuclei in muscle fibers. CNM results from mutations in the gene encoding dynamin 2 (DNM2), a large GTPase involved in endocytosis, intracellular membrane trafficking, and cytoskeleton regulation. We developed a knock-in mouse model expressing the most frequent DNM2-CNM mutation; i.e....
متن کاملClinical and Pathological Features of Korean Patients with DNM2-Related Centronuclear Myopathy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is characterized by the presence of central nuclei within a large number of muscle fibers. Mutations of the dynamin 2 gene (DNM2) are common causes of autosomal dominant or sporadic CNM. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical and pathological features of CNM relative to the presence of DNM2 mutations. METHODS Six patients wit...
متن کاملAllele‐specific silencing therapy for Dynamin 2‐related dominant centronuclear myopathy
Rapid advances in allele-specific silencing by RNA interference established a strategy of choice to cure dominant inherited diseases by targeting mutant alleles. We used this strategy for autosomal-dominant centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a rare neuromuscular disorder without available treatment due to heterozygous mutations in the DNM2 gene encoding Dynamin 2. Allele-specific siRNA sequences wer...
متن کاملDynamin 2 the rescue for centronuclear myopathy.
Centronuclear myopathy is a lethal muscle disease. The most severe form of the disease, X-linked centronuclear myopathy, is due to mutations in the gene encoding myotubularin (MTM1), while mutations in dynamin 2 (DNM2) and amphiphysin 2/BIN1 (AMPH2) cause milder forms of myopathy. MTM1 is a lipid phosphatase, and mutations that disrupt this activity cause severe muscle wasting. In this issue of...
متن کاملMice lacking microRNA 133a develop dynamin 2–dependent centronuclear myopathy.
MicroRNAs modulate cellular phenotypes by inhibiting expression of mRNA targets. In this study, we have shown that the muscle-specific microRNAs miR-133a-1 and miR-133a-2 are essential for multiple facets of skeletal muscle function and homeostasis in mice. Mice with genetic deletions of miR-133a-1 and miR-133a-2 developed adult-onset centronuclear myopathy in type II (fast-twitch) myofibers, a...
