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 کاملP164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function by echocardiography correlates poorly with cardiac MRI measures in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) causes skeletal muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy (CM). Current recommendations are for annual left ventricular (LV) function assessment after age 10 years. Although echocardiographic image quality in DMD patients can be affected by scoliosis and adipose tissue, recent reviews recommend echocardiography as the standard imaging modality. We hypothesi...
متن کاملCardiac function associated with home ventilator care in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Purpose Cardiomyopathy is becoming the leading cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy because mechanically assisted lung ventilation and assisted coughing have helped resolve respiratory complications. To clarify cardiopulmonary function, we compared cardiac function between the home ventilator-assisted and non-ventilator-assisted groups. Methods We retrospectively review...
متن کاملThe effect of free-breathing on left ventricular rotational mechanics in normal subjects and patients with duchenne muscular dystrophy
Background Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) develop respiratory impairment and signs and symptoms of cardiac involvement at an early age. Quantitative measures of cardiac function from MRI tagging can be used to stage disease progression and monitor the response to therapy. Traditional cardiac MRI exams, however, require repeated breath holding, which places a notable burden on p...
