novel ldb۳ mutation in a patient with autosomal dominant myofibrillar myopathy
conclusions bioinformatics analyses using sift, mutation taster and polyphen-2 indicated that p.ile563val was predicted to be damaging, disease causing, and probably damaging to and causing ldb3 dysfunction. as such, this mutation produces novel protein coding transcripts, which might explain the mfm phenotype in the patient. introduction myofibrillar myopathy (mfm) is a rare human disease, cha...
متن کاملCollagen Type VI-Related Disorders Panel
The collagen type VI-related disorders are nowadays considered to be a continuum of overlapping phenotypes with Bethlem myopathy at the mild end and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) at the severe end. In between these phenotypes there are collagen type VI-related limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and myosclerosis myopathy. Most cases of Bethlem myopathy have autosomal dominant inherita...
متن کاملNovel autosomal dominant TNNT1 mutation causing nemaline myopathy
BACKGROUND Nemaline myopathy (NEM) is one of the three major forms of congenital myopathy and is characterized by diffuse muscle weakness, hypotonia, respiratory insufficiency, and the presence of nemaline rod structures on muscle biopsy. Mutations in troponin T1 (TNNT1) is 1 of 10 genes known to cause NEM. To date, only homozygous nonsense mutations or compound heterozygous truncating or inter...
متن کاملDominant collagen VI mutations are a common cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy.
Mutations in the three collagen VI genes COL6A1, COL6A2 and COL6A3 cause Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD). UCMD, a severe disorder characterized by congenital muscle weakness, proximal joint contractures and marked distal joint hyperextensibility, has been considered a recessive condition, and homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations have been defined in CO...
متن کاملsiRNA-mediated Allele-specific Silencing of a COL6A3 Mutation in a Cellular Model of Dominant Ullrich Muscular Dystrophy
Congenital muscular dystrophy type Ullrich (UCMD) is a severe disorder of early childhood onset for which currently there is no effective treatment. UCMD commonly is caused by dominant-negative mutations in the genes coding for collagen type VI, a major microfibrillar component of the extracellular matrix surrounding the muscle fibers. To explore RNA interference (RNAi) as a potential therapy f...
