A case of fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy misdiagnosed as Becker's muscular dystrophy for 20 years.
A 60-year-old man diagnosed clinically with Becker's muscular dystrophy 20 years ago by another physician presented with gradually progressive proximal muscle weakness since teenage years. Family history revealed a strong paternal familial inheritance pattern of similar distribution of weakness-face, forearm flexion, knee extension and foot dorsiflexion. Work-ups revealed B12 deficiency and all...
متن کاملDetection 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 کاملMuscular dystrophy: from pathogenesis to strategy.
Muscular dystrophies are a genetically heterogeneous group of degenerative muscle disorders. It characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness of variable distribution and severity. There are several subgroups including Duchenne/Becker, fascioscapulohumeral, limb-girdle, oculopharngeal, and congenital muscular dystrophy. Diagnosis is dependent to the characteristic clinical features i...
متن کاملAssociation 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...
متن کاملChromatin loop domain organization within the 4q35 locus in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy patients versus normal human myoblasts.
Fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder linked to partial deletion of integral numbers of a 3.3 kb polymorphic repeat, D4Z4, within the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q. Although the relationship between deletions of D4Z4 and FSHD is well established, how this triggers the disease remains unclear. We have mapped the DNA loop domain cont...
