duchenne:33416279 | Expanded Carrier Screening and the Complexity of Implementation. | [
"Advances in genetic technology have allowed for the development of multiplex panels that can test for hundreds of genetic disorders at the same time; these large panels are referred to as expanded carrier screening. This process can screen couples for far more conditions than the gene-by-gene approach used with traditional carrier screening; however, although expanded carrier screening has been promoted as an efficient means of detecting many more disorders, the complexities of genetic sequencing raise substantial challenges and concerns. In our practice, we have seen a number of complex cases in which only attention to detail on the part of thorough genetic counselors allowed identification of misclassified variants that could have resulted in significant patient harm. We raise issues that require urgent attention by professional societies, including: whether to endorse testing that uses sequencing compared with genotyping; required components of pretest and posttest counseling; reclassification of variants; whether obstetric health care professionals have a responsibility to assure that patients understand the iterative process of variant interpretation and how it relates to carrier screening results; and the question of rescreening in subsequent pregnancies. Implementation of expanded carrier screening needs to be considered thoughtfully in light of the complexity of genetic sequencing and limited knowledge of genetics of most front-line obstetric health care professionals."

duchenne:33334361 | Confined placental mosaicism of Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a case report. | [
"Small copy number variations confined to the placenta are extremely rare findings in chorionic villus sampling, nonetheless of great clinical importance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of confined placental mosaicism for an intragenic Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene deletion.",
"We describe a pregnant woman where confined placental mosaicism for an intragenic DMD deletion was detected. She was referred for a chorionic villus sampling due to an increased risk of trisomy 21 derived from combined first trimester screening. Rapid aneuploidy detection showed a male fetus with normal results for chromosomes 13, 18 and 21. A chromosomal microarray demonstrated a deletion of exons 61-62 in the DMD gene in approximately 50% of the cells. A follow-up analysis on amniotic cells showed a normal result for the DMD gene. Hence, confined placental mosaicism was confirmed.",
"We propose tissue specific fragile sites as a possible theoretical mechanism for the formation of submicroscopic copy number variations and highlight that the finding of DMD deletion mosaicism in a chorionic villus sample might be isolated to the placenta. Therefore, confirmation by amniocentesis is of crucial clinical importance to avoid misdiagnosis of the fetus."

duchenne:33305858 | Thyroid storm after mitral valve repair in a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy. | [
"A 40-year-old male with Becker muscular dystrophy presented with severe mitral regurgitation and underwent mitral valve repair. Following the surgery, the patient became tachycardic and developed a continuous high-grade fever and hyperbilirubinemia. The patient's condition worsened and we eventually tested his thyroid levels and discovered abnormally high thyroid levels. After diagnosing a severe thyroid storm, the patient was treated with oral administration of Lugol's iodine and thiamazole, as well as an intravenous steroid, which led to an immediate improvement of symptoms.

duchenne:33305170 | Beneficial effects of one-month sacubitril/valsartan treatment in a patient affected by end-stage dystrophinopathic cardiomyopathy. | [
"Dystrophinopathic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an almost constant manifestation in Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients significantly contributing to morbidity and mortality. The nearly complete replacement of the myocardium by fibrous and fatty connective tissue results in an irreversible cardiac failure, characterized by progressive reduction of the ejection fraction. According to PARADIGM-HF trial results, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend the use of sacubitril/valsartan in ambulatory patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, who remain symptomatic despite an optimal medical therapy. To date, little is still known about the use of sacubitril/valsartan in DCM. We report the case of a patient with dystrophinopathic end stage dilated cardiomyopathy with reduced ejection fraction who successfully responded to sacubitril/valsartan treatment."

duchenne:33294606 | Psychological Case Conference Following the Death of a Patient With Neuromuscular Disease: A Source of Emotional Support for Participating Medical Staff. | [
"Healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and care of patients with intractable diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, increasingly encounter situations that can elicit emotional distress for them as well as the patients. Therefore, medical professionals also need support. This article describes a psychological case conference of multidisciplinary professionals involved in the treatment of a deceased patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The conference aimed to support medical professionals in reflecting on and sharing their thoughts, feelings, and conflicts. Such a practice could support medical professionals in reflecting patients' thoughts and sharing their personal experiences with other staff members, which may alleviate emotional and personal conflicts. Reflecting on their interactions and dealings with patients serves this supportive function. Psychological case conferences for medical staff may serve as an opportunity for participants to feel emotionally supported and may perhaps help prevent burnout."

"Marked decreases in serum creatine kinase levels have been noted in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies as rare complications of autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases.",
"The influence of systemic inflammation on serum creatine kinase levels was reviewed from the charts of three subjects with Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy.",
"A total of 30 infectious events were identified. Elevated serum C-reactive protein levels coincided with decreased creatine kinase levels on 19 occasions. In one subject, administration of 2 mg/kg/d prednisolone for bronchial asthma resulted in a decrease in creatine kinase level on six other occasions.",
"Apart from an increase in endogenous cortisol secretion, certain inflammation-related molecules could play a role in mitigating muscle cell damage in Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy during febrile infectious episodes. Corticosteroids may be a promising agent for the treatment of muscular symptoms in this disorder."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophies (DMDs) are X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorders with malfunction or absence of the Dystrophin protein. Precise genetic diagnosis is critical for proper planning of patient care and treatment. In this study, we described a Chinese family with mosaic DMD mutations and discussed the best method for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling of X-linked familial disorders.",
"We investigated all variants of the whole dystrophin gene using multiple DNA samples isolated from the affected family and identified two variants of the DMD gene in a sick boy and two female carriers by targeted next generation sequencing (TNGS), Sanger sequencing, and haplotype analysis.",
"We identified the hemizygous mutation c.6794delG (p.G2265Efs*6) of DMD in the sick boy, which was inherited from his mother. Unexpectedly, a novel heterozygous mutation c.6796delA (p.I2266Ffs*5) of the same gene, which was considered to be a de novo variant, was detected from his younger sister instead of his mother by Sanger sequencing. However, further NGS analysis of the mother and her amniotic fluid samples revealed that the mother carried a low-level mosaic c.6796delA mutation.",
"We reported two different mutations of the DMD gene in two siblings, including the novel mutation c.6796delA (p.I2266Ffs*5) inherited from the asymptomatic mosaic-carrier mother. This finding has enriched the knowledge of the pathogenesis of DMD. If no mutation is detected in obligate carriers, the administration of intricate STR/NGS/Sanger analysis will provide new ideas on the prenatal diagnosis of DMD."

duchenne:33173022 | Flexible intramedullary nailing for supracondylar femoral fractures in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"BACKGROUND Femoral fractures are common in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and represent a critical moment in the natural history of the disease. The immobilization required for fracture healing frequently leads to further weakening and worsening (or definitive loss) of functional abilities. Surgical treatment has been advocated in ambulatory and nonambulatory patients with rapid mobilization of patients as the main goal; however, it exposes patients to considerable anesthetic risk. CASE REPORT We present a previously unreported experience of flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) in 2 DMD patients (aged 11.7 and 12.8 years) who were still able to walk or stand when the supracondylar femoral fractures occurred. The surgical procedures were performed with sufficient reduction and stabilization of fractures. Rapid mobilization of the patients was achieved, including muscle strengthening exercises. A prompt recovery of the upright standing position and successive ambulation was accomplished in the patient with the higher functional status before the fracture, whereas the standing ability was not recovered in the other patient. No increase of knee flexion contractures and no growth disturbances were recorded at the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The operative treatment option should be considered by a multidisciplinary team; they should evaluate the advantages and risks for each patient considering their functional status. For ambulatory children (or patients still able to stand), FIN can represent a valid, minimally invasive, apparently growth-sparing and sufficiently stable osteosynthesis, allowing rapid rehabilitation of the patient that can limit, but not completely avoid the consequences of the femoral fracture."

duchenne:33062510 | Tension Pneumocephalus in a Tracheostomized, Chronically Ventilated, Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy Patient Without Prior Head Trauma. | [
"Tension pneumocephalus is a rare condition that can be a life-threatening neurosurgical emergency. It usually results from head trauma, but there have been case reports of iatrogenic causes including on non-invasive mechanical ventilation. We report a case of pneumocephalus resulting from high mechanical ventilation pressures in a patient without prior head trauma. A 37-year-old male with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy who had been ventilator-dependent through tracheostomy was admitted for shortness of breath and intermittent fevers. The patient was found to have pneumonia, with left-lower lobe consolidation, and was started on linezolid given known Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from previous sputum culture; he was later switched to vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam given persistent fevers to cover for hospital-acquired pneumonia. The patient went into septic shock requiring multiple pressors as well as stress steroids for persistent shock, with eventual improvement in hemodynamics. He developed further respiratory acidosis on his usual ventilator settings, and peak inspiratory pressures (PIPs) progressively increased to as high as 45-70 cm H2O during his hospital course. PIPs did not improve with suctioning or after bronchoscopy. On the 17th day of the patient's stay, he had acutely altered mental status with non-reactive fixed and dilated pupils and disconjugate gaze of the right eye on neurologic examination. CT of the head at that time revealed extensive pneumocephalus along the bifrontal convexities, suprasellar cisterns, and posterior fossa, with a possible fracture of the frontal skull base near the ethmoid roof. Mount Fuji sign was present on CT scan, indicative of \"tension pneumocephalus\". Neurosurgical consultation was obtained but the family declined intervention given his overall debilitated stated. Comfort measures were instituted, and the patient expired the following day. Pneumocephalus is the accumulation of air entry into the cranial cavity, generally from head trauma, inflammation, or surgery. Patients may have underlying base skull defects or microfractures that permit air to enter the intracranial cavity. Increased sphenoid sinus pressure from mechanical ventilation may enter the subperiosteal space, allowing air to enter the intracranial cavity. It is important to consider pneumocephalus in a patient with new neurological findings after mechanical ventilation."

duchenne:33050418 | Splicing Characteristics of Dystrophin Pseudoexons and Identification of a Novel Pathogenic Intronic Variant in the DMD Gene. | [
"Pseudoexon (PE) inclusion has been implicated in various dystrophinopathies; however, its splicing characteristics have not been fully investigated. This study aims to analyze the splicing characteristics of dystrophin PEs and compare them with those of dystrophin canonical exons (CEs). Forty-two reported dystrophin PEs were divided into a splice site (ss) group and a splicing regulatory element (SRE) group. Five dystrophin PEs with characteristics of poison exons were identified and categorized as the possible poison exon group. The comparative analysis of each essential splicing signal among different groups of dystrophin PEs and dystrophin CEs revealed that the possible poison exon group had a stronger 3' ss compared to any other group. As for auxiliary SREs, different groups of dystrophin PEs were found to have a smaller density of diverse types of exonic splicing enhancers and a higher density of several types of exonic splicing silencers compared to dystrophin CEs. In addition, the possible poison exon group had a smaller density of 3' ss intronic splicing silencers compared to dystrophin CEs.

duchenne:33049940 | X-Linked Duchenne-Type Muscular Dystrophy in Jack Russell Terrier Associated with a Partial Deletion of the Canine DMD Gene. | [
"A 9-month old male Jack Russell Terrier started showing paraparesis of the hindlimbs after a walk. Hospitalized, the dog went into cardiac arrest, and later died. Necroscopic examination revealed a severe thickness of the diaphragm, esophagus, and base of the tongue, leading to the diagnosis of muscular dystrophy. The histology confirmed the marked size variation, regeneration, and fibrosis replacement of the skeletal muscle fibers. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated the absence of dystrophin confirming the diagnosis. Transmission electron microscopy showed disarrangement of skeletal muscle fibers. Finally, whole-genome sequencing identified a ~368kb deletion spanning 19 exons of the canine dystrophin (DMD) gene. This pathogenic loss-of-function variant most likely explains the observed disease phenotype. The X-chromosomal variant was absent in seven controls of the same breed. Most likely, this partial deletion of the DMD gene was either transmitted on the maternal path within the family of the affected dog or arose de novo. This study revealed a spontaneous partial deletion in DMD gene in a Jack Russell Terrier showing a Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy due to non-functional dystrophin."

duchenne:33029547 | The Neurocognitive and Behavioral Profiles of 3 Brothers With Becker Muscular Dystrophy. | [
"Becker muscular dystrophy patients generally carry in-frame mutations in the dystrophin gene, allowing the production of partially functional dystrophin protein. The presence of cognitive and behavioral comorbidities and the relation with the location of mutations has been scarcely investigated in Becker. This case report describes the neurocognitive and behavioral profiles of 3 brothers with Becker carrying an in-frame deletion of exons 45-48. The 3 cases underwent 2 consecutive neuropsychological assessments of which one assessment took place when they completed their primary education (age range of the cases: 11.2 -12.1 years). Intellectual abilities were normal to high and all cases had difficulties with processing speed and math. The brothers differed in intellectual abilities, executive functions, working memory, attention and reading abilities. Variability in cognitive development was noted as well. This report suggests that cognitive and behavioral functions in Becker vary regardless of gene mutation and exposer to similar environmental factors."

"We report a case of Xp21 deletion syndrome, a contiguous gene syndrome associating glycerol kinase deficiency, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and congenital adrenal hypoplasia. This results in a contraindication to the use of all halogenated agents and of propofol. We used regional anesthesia combined with dexmedetomidine and ketamine. Previously, the patient had received inadvertently a propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with no clinical side effects. We were unfortunately unable to document the metabolic consequences of this glycerol load. We suggest that if propofol is deemed necessary in such cases, it should only be used as a bolus dose of a 2% solution."

"Disorders of central and peripheral nervous system should be considered in floppy infants with ventilator dependence. Workup for neuromuscular disorders should be undertaken in infants with hypotonia, weakness, contractures, feeding difficulties, or failed attempts at extubation. We present the case of a preterm infant with hypotonia and ventilator dependence where despite a positive result, further investigations were undertaken because of lack of clinical correlation. The infant had a rare combination of 2 neuromuscular conditions: X-linked myotubular myopathy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. One was the reason for immediate clinical manifestation and the other influenced the prognosis and decision-making in determining reorientation of care. This case demonstrates the value of interpretation of a positive result that did not explain the clinical picture and warranted consideration of further diagnosis. This case also emphasizes the importance of discussions with family about the prognosis of 2 conditions that influenced decision making."

duchenne:32738034 | Is heart transplantation a real option in patients with Duchenne syndrome? Inferences from a case report. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most frequent and severe form of MD. It firstly affects the skeletal muscles, causing severe disability, and subsequently the myocardium. The only two options to treat end-stage heart failure in these patients are either a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation as destination therapy or a heart transplant. These hypotheses are still controversial, and data are very limited. We describe the case of an 18-year-old male patient, affected by DMD and in a wheelchair from the age of 11. He progressively developed dilated cardiomyopathy, and in 2016, at the age of 14 years, he underwent HeartWare LVAD implantation, as destination therapy, without post-operative complications. He has been followed up for 47 consecutive months; and 30 months after LVAD implantation, he developed an infection of the exit site, treated by antibiotics and surgical toilette. Following this event, on the basis of patient's good general conditions and willingness, we started to consider heart transplant as an option. Before the patient was listed, he underwent accurate workup, and we found higher values of forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and peak expiratory flow, compared with the predicted values of same-age DMD patients. The patient have neither scoliosis nor need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation, and finally, he was always treated with steroids with stable thoraco-abdominal function over the years. According to these considerations, the patient was listed for heart transplant. In 12 February 2020, at the age of 18 years, the patient underwent heart transplant with no post-operative complications. Cardiac transplantation is not considered a valid option for DMD patients, because of the shortage of donor availability and the systemic nature of DMD disease. Considering that this patient had already experienced an LVAD-related complication and he had better general condition than his DMD peers, we listed him for a heart transplant. We described the case of a DMD patient who underwent successful heart transplantation after 47 months of HeartWare LVAD assistance. Three months' follow-up is uneventful."

duchenne:32669210 | Rare intronic mutation between Exon 62 and 63 (c.9225-285A>G) of the dystrophin gene associated with atypical BMD phenotype. | [
"Dystrophinopathies are predominantly caused by deletions, duplications and point mutations in the coding regions of the dystrophin gene with less than 1% of all pathogenic mutations identified within intronic sequences. We describe a 17-year-old male with a Becker muscular dystrophy diagnosis and mental disability due to an intron mutation that led to aberrant splicing and formation of an additional exon. Histopathological analysis of muscle tissue revealed signs of muscular dystrophy and reduced signal for dystrophin, alpha-sarcoglycan, and alpha-dystroglycan. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification screening and total sequencing of the dystrophin gene did not identify a mutation in the coding regions. However, next generation sequencing revealed an intron mutation between exons 62 and 63 of the dystrophin gene known for pseudoexon formation and disruption of the reading frame. We report a functional consequence of this mutation as an increased intracellular-weighted sodium signal (assessed by 23Na-magnetic resonance imaging) in leg muscles."

duchenne:32504006 | Severe cardiac involvement with preserved truncated dystrophin expression in Becker muscular dystrophy by +1G>A DMD splice-site mutation: a case report. | [
"Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is caused by specific mutations in the DMD gene that causes progressive muscle weakness and primarily affects skeletal and cardiac muscle. Although cardiac involvement is a significant cause of mortality in BMD, the genetic-phenotype correlation for skeletal and cardiac muscles has not been elucidated. Here, we described a 39-year-old man with BMD, who presented with subtle skeletal muscle weakness in the right leg in his 20s and underwent left ventricular restoration for severe dilated cardiomyopathy at the age of 29. He had difficulty climbing stairs after the age of 35. Neither duplication nor deletion of exons was detected by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. A hemizygous c.264 + 1G>A mutation in intron 4 of the DMD was identified by next-generation sequencing. Furthermore, exon 4 skipping of the DMD was confirmed in both skeletal and cardiac muscles evaluated by reverse transcriptase PCR. Endomyocardial and skeletal muscle biopsies revealed dystrophic pathology characterized by muscle fiber atrophy and hypertrophy with a mild degree of interstitial fibrosis. Interestingly, dystrophin immunohistochemistry demonstrated patchy and faint staining of the skeletal muscle membranes but almost normal staining of the cardiac muscle membranes. Western blot analysis revealed a decreased amount of truncated dystrophin in skeletal muscle but surprisingly almost normal amount in cardiac muscle. This case indicates that BMD patients may have severe cardiac dysfunction despite preserved cardiac truncated dystrophin expression."

"Boys with dystrophinopathies (DMD) are at increased risk of low bone mineral density and fracture. Femoral fracture is the most common extremity fracture and is accompanied by significant risk of functional loss. Care considerations for DMD have stressed that aggressive management may be needed to maintain ambulation and that surgical fixation allows early mobilization.",
"Describe 5 cases of femoral fracture in ambulatory boys with DMD and the course of care undertaken to optimize function.",
"Five boys with DMD median age 15y (12-16) who were independently ambulatory. Median 10m walk speed prior to their first fracture was 8 sec (7-17.37) and 4 of 5 were less than the 9 seconds predictive of 2 year ambulation retention. Three of the cases had a single incident causing fracture; the remaining cases had 2 and 3 incidents respectively representing a total of 8 fractures 6 of which were surgically stabilized.",
"Following the first fracture, all 5 subjects regained some form of ambulation. Three patients regained independent ambulation and 2 with hand held support or contact guard. Two subjects went on to have additional falls with associated fracture. No patient regained the ability to rise from the floor and only one of the 5 regained the ability to climb steps and all demonstrated a decline in walking speed.",
"Prompt orthopedic intervention, early mobility, and intensive rehabilitation even in the end stage ambulatory patient, were factors in helping preserve function in these patients with dystrophinopathies."

duchenne:32365922 | Co-Transplantation of Bone Marrow-MSCs and Myogenic Stem/Progenitor Cells from Adult Donors Improves Muscle Function of Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder associated with a progressive deficiency of dystrophin that leads to skeletal muscle degeneration. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a co-transplantation of two stem/progenitor cell populations, namely bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and skeletal muscle-derived stem/progenitor cells (SM-SPCs), directly into the dystrophic muscle can improve the skeletal muscle function of DMD patients. Three patients diagnosed with DMD, confirmed by the dystrophin gene mutation, were enrolled into a study approved by the local Bioethics Committee (no. 79/2015). Stem/progenitor cells collected from bone marrow and skeletal muscles of related healthy donors, based on HLA matched antigens, were expanded in a closed MC3 cell culture system. A simultaneous co‑transplantation of BM-MSCs and SM-SPCs was performed directly into the biceps brachii (two patients) and gastrocnemius (one patient). During a six‑month follow‑up, the patients were examined with electromyography (EMG) and monitored for blood kinase creatine level. Muscle biopsies were examined with histology and assessed for dystrophin at the mRNA and protein level. A panel of 27 cytokines was analysed with multiplex ELISA. We did not observe any adverse effects after the intramuscular administration of cells. The efficacy of BM‑MSC and SM‑SPC application was confirmed through an EMG assessment by an increase in motor unit parameters, especially in terms of duration, amplitude range, area, and size index. The beneficial effect of cellular therapy was confirmed by a decrease in creatine kinase levels and a normalised profile of pro-inflammatory cytokines. BM-MSCs may support the pro-regenerative potential of SM-SPCs thanks to their trophic, paracrine, and immunomodulatory activity. Both applied cell populations may fuse with degenerating skeletal muscle fibres in situ, facilitating skeletal muscle recovery. However, further studies are required to optimise the dose and timing of stem/progenitor cell delivery."

"Becker Muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked syndrome characterized by progressive muscle weakness. BMD is generally less severe than Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. BMD is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene that normally give rise to the production of a truncated but partially functional dystrophin protein. We generated an induced pluripotent cell line from dermal fibroblasts of a BMD patient carrying a splice mutation in the dystrophin gene (c.1705-8 T>C). The iPSC cell-line displayed the characteristic pluripotent-like morphology, expressed pluripotency markers, differentiated into cells of the three germ layers and had a normal karyotype."

"Duchenne Muscle dystrophy (DMD) is a X-linked inherited disease predominantly caused by severe mutations in DMD gene leading to absence of dystrophin protein. Here we report a 14-year-old Mongolian boy suffering from proximal muscle weakness, pseudohypertrophic deltoid and gastrocnemius muscles since early childhood. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) levels were elevated. Mutation analysis including MLPA and sequencing of the DMD gene revealed a hemizygous silent variant, c.1329C>T (p.Ser443=) in exon 11. This silent mutation, listed in the SNP database (rs1060502631), was described as a variant of unknown significance (VUS) in ClinVar database. cDNA analysis demonstrated partial skipping of exon 11 due to this mutation. Although silent mutations are usually considered non-pathogenic, our case emphasizes that silent mutations can be potentially pathogenic. Hence, if silent variants are not annotated in database or not known to be benign, they should be analysed further at cDNA level."

duchenne:32311965 | Laparoscopic gynecological surgery in an adult woman with Becker muscular dystrophy performed with sevoflurane with cisatracurium anesthesia: A case report. | [
"Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are progressive neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. The management of anesthesia in patients with BMD is complicated because they are highly sensitive to the conventional anesthetics such as volatile anesthetics and muscle relaxants. It is reported that anesthesia in patients with DMD is associated with several complications. However, a few case reports have been published on adult patients with BMD undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. Reports indicate that children with BMD may experience some serious complications with flurane-inhaled anesthesia. However, no study has yet shown that the use of flurane-induced anesthesia in adults with DMD carries high risks.",
"We describe a 56-year-old woman with BMD who was scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy under general anesthesia due to a mass in the uterus. The patient was diagnosed with BMD 20 years back and reported that during this period, she was able to walk slowly with help during her daily life. Additionally, she also had a history of hypertension since 4 years and type 2 diabetes mellitus since 2 years.",
"The patient was postmenopausal and presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and elevated CA125. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed diffuse enlargement of the uterus and hypoechoic internal echoes. These findings were suggestive of diffuse adenomyosis with multiple uterine leiomyomas, which would have adverse effects later in her life. Therefore, the patient required surgery to address the symptoms and further confirm the diagnosis. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological analysis.",
"The patient was scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy. Anesthesia was induced and maintained by a combination of intravenous and inhalation anesthetic agents, particularly cisatracurium besilate and inhaled. sevoflurane.",
"The duration of anesthesia and postoperative period were uneventful. At the end of the operation, the patient had normal vital signs and was fully conscious. The patient was followed up for 8 months and no complications were noted during this period.",
"The combination of sevoflurane and cisatracurium besilate is a safe and effective method for the anesthetic management of adult patients with BMD scheduled for laparoscopic gynecological surgery. On the other hand, it is important to be aware of even rare complications of procedures, so that necessary precautions can be undertaken. Further investigations are necessary to determine the safe dosage of volatile anesthetics specifically for this clinical scenario so that anesthesiologists can use this combination method more accurately and precisely."

"We describe the clinical deterioration of a 26-yr-old man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy on oral daily high-dose deflazacort. Although this daily regimen was targeted to benefit ambulation and respiration, it resulted in premature death with lethal sequelae from liver failure, decubiti, diabetes mellitus, and morbid obesity. This case illustrates the need for further research weighing risk versus benefit of daily glucocorticoid therapy, specifically deflazacort, in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. Thus, curtailment of daily dosing to eliminate dire sequelae in patients living longer into adulthood than ever before is recommended."

duchenne:32153624 | 46,XX Testicular Disorders of Sex Development With DMD Gene Mutation: First Case Report Identified Prenatally by Integrated Analyses in China. | [
"The present study describes the first prenatally diagnosed 46,XX testicular disorders of sex development (46,XX testicular DSD) case with DMD gene mutation by integrated analyses in a Chinese pedigree. Chromosome karyotype G-banding analysis of the proband showed a 46,XX karyotype, but B-ultrasound analysis demonstrated the existence of scrotum, testis and penis which inferred a male sexual differentiation. Aneuploidy and copy number variation (CNV) detection by low-coverage single-end whole genome sequencing (WGS) revealed a de novo SRY (sex-determining region Y) gene positive fragment of 224.34 kb length (chrY:2,649,472-2,873,810) which explained the gonadal/genital-chromosomal inconsistency in the proband. Additionally, targeted-region-capture-based DMD gene sequencing and Sanger verification confirmed a widely reported pathogenic heterozygous nonsense mutation (NM_004006, c.9100C>T, p.Arg3034Ter) in the dystrophin-coding gene named DMD. This study emphasizes that integrated analyses of the imaging results, cytogenetics, and molecular features can play an important role in prenatal diagnosis. It requires the combination of more detection techniques with higher resolution than karyotyping to determine the genetic and biological sex of fetuses in prenatal diagnosis. To conclusively determine both the biological and genetic sex of the fetus at the time of prenatal diagnosis particularly in cases that involve X-linked conditions is of vital importance, which would crucially influence the decision-making regarding abortions. This study will help in prenatal diagnosis of DMD in future, also providing a new perspective that enables the genetic diagnosis of sex reversal in pregnancy. Moreover, genetic counseling/analysis for early diagnosis and pre-symptom interventions are warranted."

duchenne:31977139 | Fatal liver failure after therapeutic doses of paracetamol in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and atypical pharmacogenetic profile of drug-metabolizing enzymes. | [
"Paracetamol has a good safety profile, but pharmacogenetic differences in drug-metabolizing enzymes may have an impact on its risk of hepatotoxicity. We present a case of fatal acute liver failure (ALF) after therapeutic doses of paracetamol in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, where pharmacogenetic screening was conducted. This 30-year-old man was electively admitted for a tracheostomy. A total of 14.5 g paracetamol was given over four days. He developed a severe ALF and died 11 days after admission. Pharmacogenetic screening showed absent CYP2D6 metabolism and increased CYP1A2 activity, which may have increased the formation of toxic intermediate metabolite, N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone imine (NAPQI). He also had decreased function of UGT2B15, which increases the amount of paracetamol available for metabolism to NAPQI. Having a reduced muscle mass and thus a reduced glutathione levels to detoxify produced NAPQI may add to the risk of toxicity. This case may indicate that pharmacogenetic variability is of potential relevance for the risk of paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity in patients with neuromuscular diseases. Further studies should investigate if pharmacogenetic screening could be a tool to detect potentially increased risk of hepatotoxicity in these patients at therapeutic doses of paracetamol and hence provide information for selection of analgesic treatment."

duchenne:31959102 | Anesthetic management of a patient with a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a case report. | [
"As patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) have long expected survival, the incidence of noncardiac surgery in this patient population is increasing. Here, we present the anesthetic management of a patient with a continuous-flow LVAD who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).",
"A 37-year-old man with LVAD was scheduled to undergo VATS because of repeated spontaneous pneumothorax. Generally, patients with these devices have marginal right heart function; therefore, it is important to avoid factors that worsen pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). However, VATS requires one-lung ventilation (OLV) and it tends to cause increase in PVR, leading to right heart failure. In the present case, when the patient was set in a lateral decubitus position and progressive hypoxia was observed during OLV, transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a dilated right ventricle and a temporally flattened interventricular septum, and the central venous pressure increased to approximately 20 mmHg. Because we anticipated deterioration of right heart function, dobutamine and milrinone were administered and/or respirator settings were changed to decrease PVR for maintaining LVAD performance. Finally, resection of a bulla was completed, and the patient was discharged in stable condition on postoperative day 37.",
"The anesthetic management of a patient with LVAD during VATS is challenging because the possible hemodynamic changes induced by hypoxia associated with OLV affect LVAD performance and right heart function. In our experience, VATS that requires OLV will be well tolerated in a patient with LVAD with preserved right heart function, and a multidisciplinary approach to maintain right heart function will be needed."

duchenne:31832414 | Recurrent hypotension induced by sacubitril/valsartan in cardiomyopathy secondary to Duchenne muscular dystrophy: A case report. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is caused by a mutation/deletion in the dystrophin gene on the X-chromosome, is the most common type of neuromuscular disorder in pediatrics. Skeletal muscle weakness progressively develops in DMD patients and usually leads to respiratory failure in the early adolescent years. Cardiac muscle is frequently affected in DMD patients, which leads to a high burden of cardiomyopathy and heart failure. In the era of improved respiratory care, cardiac deaths are becoming the major cause of mortality in DMD patients.",
"We report the case of a 15-year-old boy who presented to the hospital due to recurrent orthopnea for 6 mo and palpitations for 4 mo. He was diagnosed with progressive muscular dystrophy at the age of 3 years and was confined to a wheelchair at 12 years. He was prescribed diuretics and digoxin at the outpatient clinic; however, his symptoms did not resolve. Sacubitril/valsartan was added 1 mo prior to presentation, but he experienced recurrent episodes of palpitations. The electrocardiogram showed atrial tachycardia with a heart rate of 201 bpm, and he was then hospitalized. Hypotension was found following the administration of sacubitril/valsartan tablets; he could not tolerate even a small dose, always developing tachyarrhythmia. His symptoms were relieved after discontinuing sacubitril/valsartan, and his heart rate was controlled by a small dose of metoprolol tartrate and digoxin. Atrial tachycardia spontaneously converted in this patient, and his symptoms attenuated in the following 6 mo, without palpitation episodes.",
"Blood pressure should be closely monitored in DMD patients with advanced heart failure when taking sacubitril/valsartan."

duchenne:31825868 | A Case Study With Symbihand: An sEMG-Controlled Electrohydraulic Hand Orthosis for Individuals With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. | [
"With recent improvements in healthcare, individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have prolonged life expectancy, and it is therefore vital to preserve their independence. Hand function plays a central role in maintaining independence in daily living. This requires sufficient grip force and the ability to modulate it with no substantially added effort. Individuals with DMD have low residual grip force and its modulation is challenging and fatiguing. To assist their hand function, we developed a novel dynamic hand orthosis called SymbiHand, where the user's hand motor intention is decoded by means of surface electromyography, enabling the control of an electrohydraulic pump for actuation. Mechanical work is transported using hydraulic transmission and flexible structures to redirect interaction forces, enhancing comfort by minimizing shear forces. This paper outlines SymbiHand's design and control, and a case study with an individual with DMD. Results show that SymbiHand increased the participant's maximum grasping force from 2.4 to 8 N. During a grasping force-tracking task, muscular activation was decreased by more than 40% without compromising task performance. These results suggest that SymbiHand has the potential to decrease muscular activation and increase grasping force for individuals with DMD, adding to the hand a total mass of no more than 241 g. Changes in mass distributions and an active thumb support are necessary for improved usability, in addition to larger-scale studies for generalizing its assistive potential."

duchenne:31812072 | Reprogramming of human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) from a Chinese patient suffering Duchenne muscular dystrophy to iPSC line (SDQLCHi007-A) carrying deletion of 49-50 exons in the DMD gene. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophies affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles, is caused by mutations in dystrophin (DMD) gene that spans 79 exons. Here, we generated iPSCs from a Chinese patient with 49-50 exons deletion in DMD gene by reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells with non-integrating vectors. The generated iPSCs line (SDQLCHi007-A) carrying the identical deletion of 49-50 exons, expresses pluripotency markers, presents a normal karyotype and is able to differentiate into three germ layers."

duchenne:31793735 | Identification of two novel insertion abnormal transcripts in two Chinese families affected with Dystrophinopathy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive inheritance muscle dystrophy disease, associated with pathogenic variants in the DMD gene. MLPA, DHPLC and DMD sequence studies fail to found the causative alteration in two cases. This study intends to evaluate the disease-causing mutations and explains the correlation genotype-phenotype.",
"The mRNA analysis and Long-range PCR with sequencing were used for molecular diagnosis.",
"In case one, an insertion of 78 nucleotides between exons 40 and 41 (r.5739_5740insMN602429:r415_492) was identified in case one. The insertion sequences were highly homologous to the intron 40 (NG_012232.1:g.1001760_g.1001837). Long-range PCR with sequencing analysis showed that a novel deep intronic DMD mutation (NG_012232.1:g.1001838A>G) was identified, generating a premature stop codon and terminating protein translation. The likely pathogenic mutation was detected in fetal sample. In case two, an insertion of 74 nucleotides which located inside the consensus sequence AG/GT was detected between exons 2 and 3 (r.93_94insMN584887:r61_134), which resulted in a premature stop codon. The insertion sequences were traceable in the intron 2 of DMD gene (NG_012232.1:g.415926_g.415999). We did not perform prenatal DMD gene diagnosis for case two due to lack of sufficient genetic information.",
"These findings clarify importance of proceeding to the mRNA analysis when no causative mutations were found neither by MLPA/DHPLC nor gene sequencing so as to reach the molecular confirmation of DMD and carry out an accurate genetic assessment/ carrier status testing."

"A precise genetic diagnosis of a dystrophinopathy has far-reaching implications for affected boys and their families. We present three boys with DMD single nucleotide variants associated with Becker muscular dystrophy presenting with myalgia, reduced exercise capacity, neurodevelopmental symptoms and elevated creatine kinase. The DMD variants were difficult to classify: AIII:1 a synonymous variant in exon 13 c.1602G>A, p.Lys534Lys; BIII:1 an essential splice-site variant in intron 33 c.4674+1G>A, and CII:1 a missense mutation within the cysteine-rich domain, exon 66 c.9619T>C, p.Cys3207Arg. Complementary DNA (cDNA) analysis using muscle-derived mRNA established splice-altering effects of variants for AIII:1 and BIII:1, and normal splicing in CII:1. Western blot analysis demonstrated mildly to moderately reduced dystrophin levels (17.6 - 36.1% the levels of controls), supporting dystrophinopathy as a probable diagnosis. These three cases highlight the diagnostic utility of muscle biopsy for mRNA studies and western blot to investigate DMD variants of uncertain pathogenicity, by exploring effects on splicing and dystrophin protein levels."

duchenne:31672265 | Large in-frame 5' deletions in DMD associated with mild Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Two case reports and a review of the literature. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the dystrophin-encoding DMD gene. While Duchenne is most commonly caused by large intragenic deletions that cause frameshift and complete loss of dystrophin expression, in-frame deletions in DMD can result in the expression of internally truncated dystrophin proteins and may be associated with a milder phenotype. In this study, we describe two individuals with large in-frame 5' deletions (exon 3-23 and exon 3-28) that remove the majority of the N-terminal region, including part of the actin binding and central rod domains. Both patients had progressive muscle weakness during childhood but are observed to have a relatively mild disease course compared to typical Duchenne. We show that in muscle biopsies from both patients, truncated dystrophin is expressed at the sarcolemma. We have additionally developed a patient-specific fibroblast-derived cell model, which can be inducibly reprogrammed to form myotubes that largely recapitulate biopsy findings for the patient with the exon 3-23 deletion, providing a culture model for future investigation of this unusual case. We discuss these mutations in the context of previously reported 5' in-frame DMD deletions and relevant animal models, and review the spectrum of phenotypes associated with these deletions."

duchenne:31449615 | A case report: X-linked dystrophin gene mutation causing severe isolated dilated cardiomyopathy. | [
"X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy (XLDCM) is a rare but rapidly progressive cardiomyopathy caused by dystrophin gene mutation. Mutations are more often associated with Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy, which are characterized by skeletal muscle weakness or limb girdle dystrophy. However, patients with isolated XLDCM have normal skeletal muscle but complete dystrophin loss in cardiac muscle resulting in isolated myocardial involvement without overt signs of skeletal myopathy.",
"A previously well 16-year-old boy developed sudden onset dense left-sided weakness and facial droop. Computed tomography (CT) angiography and CT brain showed an occluded right internal carotid artery extending to the right middle cerebral artery. He underwent successful endovascular clot retrieval but developed frank pulmonary oedema and cardiogenic shock requiring inotropic support and intubation. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated severe left ventricular (LV) cardiomyopathy and an apical thrombus. Subsequent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging confirmed the LV parameters and diffuse late gadolinium enhancement. Despite absence of skeletal manifestations, subsequent genetic testing revealed an X-linked dystrophin gene mutation [c.31+G>T (IVS1G>T)]. He was commenced on empirical heart failure therapy and underwent successful cardiac transplantation.",
"X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy is a rare, rapidly progressing cardiomyopathy. Patients show normal skeletal muscle dystrophin but absent expression in cardiac muscle, resulting fibrosis, and atrophy. About 20% of affected young males have significantly reduced survival and thus the diagnosis must be considered in cases of idiopathic cardiomyopathy with CMR and genetic testing key to the diagnosis. Whilst evidence exists for empirical heart failure medications, cardiac transplantation remains the definitive treatment."

duchenne:31396142 | Preliminary Evidences of Safety and Efficacy of Flavonoids- and Omega 3-Based Compound for Muscular Dystrophies Treatment: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Pilot Clinical Trial. | [
"Background: Nutritional compounds can exert both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. Since these events exacerbate the pathophysiology of muscular dystrophies, we investigated nutraceutical supplementation as an adjuvant therapy in dystrophic patients, to low costs and easy route of administration. Moreover, this treatment could represent an alternative therapeutic strategy for dystrophic patients who do not respond to corticosteroid treatment. Objective: A 24 weeks randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study was aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of daily oral administration of flavonoids- and omega3-based natural supplement (FLAVOMEGA) in patients affected by muscular dystrophy with recognized muscle inflammation. Design: We screened 60 patients diagnosed for Duchenne (DMD), Facioscapulohumeral (FSHD), and Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). Using a computer-generated random allocation sequence, we stratified patients in a 2:1:1 ratio (DMD:FSHD:LGMD) to one of two treatment groups: continuous FLAVOMEGA, continuous placebo. Of 29 patients included, only 24 completed the study: 15 were given FLAVOMEGA, 14 placebo. Results: FLAVOMEGA was well tolerated with no reported adverse events. Significant treatment differences in the change from baseline in 6 min walk distance (6MWD; secondary efficacy endpoint) (P = 0.033) and in isokinetic knee extension (P = 0.039) (primary efficacy endpoint) were observed in LGMD and FSHD subjects. Serum CK levels (secondary efficacy endpoint) decreased in all FLAVOMEGA treated groups with significant difference in DMD subjects (P = 0.039). Conclusions: Although the small number of patients and the wide range of disease severity among patients reduced statistical significance, we obtained an optimal profile of safety and tolerability for the compound, showing valuable data of efficacy in primary and secondary endpoints. Trial registration number: NCT03317171 Retrospectively registered 25/10/2017."

duchenne:31320947 | Recurrent Takotsubo syndrome in a boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: A case report. | [
"Takotsubo syndrome is a rare cause of reversible ventricular dysfunction that imitate an acute coronary syndrome. The entity is unusual among pediatric populations and a recurrent episode is extremely rare. We report a case of recurrent takotsubo syndrome in an eight-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). His chest pain episodes were aggravated by a strong emotional stimuli. During episodes of chest pain, electrocardiograms (ECG) showed ST elevation while echocardiograms showed left ventricle apical ballooning; however, a coronary angiography was normal. Serial ECG and echocardiogram revealed a spontaneous resolution of ST elevation and normalized apical contraction which were compatible with the diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome. Interestingly, serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated increasing subepicardial enhancement which was compatible with progression of cardiac involvement in DMD. <Learning objective: Takotsubo syndrome should be considered in pediatric patients with acute chest pain. A recurrent episode of takotsubo syndrome is rare but is possible in pediatric populations. Patients with inherited muscular dystrophy could also develop takotsubo cardiomyopathy. A growing awareness of this syndrome may help physicians to diagnose and provide an early appropriate management of children with chest pain.>."

"Although the incidence of cerebral infarction is higher in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (.75 per 100) than in the general population (7.5-11.4 per 100 000), only 18 cases have been reported, and prevention and management guidelines for infarction in this disorder remain lacking.",
"We encountered 2 cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy with cerebral infarction. To clarify risk factors for such infarction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, we reviewed 20 cases, including our 2 patients.",
"Age at onset of infarction ranged from 4 to 31 years (n = 19). Most patients were 16-21 years old (14 of 19; 73.7%). Eighteen patients (90%) had dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), showing a higher frequency than in the age-matched general Duchenne muscular dystrophy population. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ranged from 10.2% to 42% (median, 20%; n = 9). Detectable cardiac thrombus and atrial fibrillation were rare (2 of 17; 11.8%, and 1 of 17; 5.9%, respectively).",
"Presence of DCM with low LVEF seems to be the strongest risk factor for cerebral infarction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy."

duchenne:31309032 | Gigantic Stomach: A Rare Manifestation of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by degeneration and atrophy of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles after a latent period of apparently normal development and function. The gastrointestinal manifestations start in the second decade of life and are mainly due to atrophy of smooth muscle layers. Refractory gastroparesis and chronic constipation can lead to severe gastric and small bowel dilatation, which can be life threatening. Here, we present a case of a 21-year-old male with a gigantic stomach secondary to DMD resolved with conservative management and no surgical intervention."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare genetic disorder typically presenting with muscle weakness and reduced tone of trunk and lower extremities. The sonoelastographic properties of DMD are poorly understood. We describe sonoelastographic characteristics of a patient's trunk and lower extremity musculature. An 8-year-old male presented with a 5-year history of DMD. Sonoelastographic measures of the gluteus maximus and medius, lumbar erector spinae, rectus abdominis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles were obtained. Sonoelastography demonstrated increased elasticity by elevated kiloPascals (kPa) across all muscles, except the lumbar erector spinae. Patient values were compared to an age-matched healthy control. These abnormal sonoelastographic findings reflected the pathological mechanical properties of DMD. Sonoelastography was valuable for characterizing the mechanical properties of normal and abnormal muscle tissue. There is limited information on the sonoelastography application to DMD. Sonoelastography may serve as a useful measure for diagnosis and monitoring clinical outcomes for DMD."

"Fat Embolism Syndrome (FES) is a rare and often lethal condition, associated with trauma or surgery. It is more serious than a typical fat embolism seen after a fracture in a long bone. FES is a triad of symtoms, including respiratory failure, abnormal neurology and petechial bleeding. FES is a diagnosis of exclusion. The incidence of FES is higher among adults compared to children. One possible explanation for this is the greater proportion of fat in the adult bone marrow. Children with Duchennes muscular dystrophy have a significantly increased risk of FES compared to both other children and adults. There is no specific treatment. Treatment is supportive until the respiratory and cardiovasculatory symtoms pass."

duchenne:31211175 | Urine mRNA to identify a novel pseudoexon causing dystrophinopathy. | [
"In muscular dystrophies, identification of pathogenic pseudoexons involves sequencing of the target gene cDNA derived from muscle mRNA. Here we use a urine \"liquid biopsy,\" droplet digital PCR, and sequencing of PCR products to identify a novel cryptic splice site in DMD intron 67 that causes dystrophinopathy. Pseudoexon inclusion is 35% in urine cells, 34% in urine extracellular RNA (exRNA), and 54% in muscle biopsy tissue, but absent in serum exRNA. Our results suggest that cryptic splice site use varies depending on the RNA source, and that urine RNA has the potential to substitute for muscle biopsies to identify DMD pseudoexons."

"A 25-year-old male with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and a 73-year-old male with motor neurone disease both presented with chest pain and increasing dyspnoea following routine mechanical insufflation-exsufflation or lung volume recruitment, on a background of long-term non-invasive ventilation. In each case, chest radiograph revealed a pneumothorax. In both cases the pneumothorax fully resolved following insertion of an intercostal catheter. There was no immediate recurrence and the patients were discharged home and ceased ongoing prophylactic respiratory therapy, although one person had recurrent pneumothoraces subsequently. This rare but serious complication highlights the need for careful risk/benefit analysis by clinicians prescribing these therapies."

duchenne:31199961 | The long dystrophin gene product Dp427 modulates retinal function and vascular morphology in response to age and retinal ischemia. | [
"Mutations in dystrophin are the major cause of muscular dystrophies. Continuous muscular degeneration and late stage complications, including cardiomyopathy and respiratory insufficiency, dominate the clinical phenotype. Gene expression and regulation of the dystrophin gene outside of muscular tissue is far more complex. Multiple tissue-specific dystrophin gene products are widely expressed throughout the body, including the central nervous system and eye, predisposing affected patients to secondary complications in non-muscular tissues. In this study, we evaluated the impact of the full-length dystrophin gene product, Dp427, on retinal homeostasis and angiogenesis. Based on the clinical case of a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patient who developed severe fibrovascular changes in the retina in response to hypoxic stress, we hypothesized that defects in Dp427 make the retina more susceptible to stresses such as ageing and ischemia. To further study this, a mouse strain lacking Dp427 expression (Mdx) was studied during retinal development, ageing and in the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model. While retinal vascular morphology was normal during development and ageing, retinal function measured by electroretinography (ERG) was slightly reduced in young adult Mdx mice and deteriorated with age. Mdx mice also had increased retinal neovascularization in response to OIR and more pronounced long-term deterioration in retinal function following OIR. Based on these results, we suggest that DMD patients with a mutation in Dp427 may experience disturbed retinal homeostasis with increasing age and therefore be prone to develop excessive retinal neovascular changes in response to hypoxic stress. DMD patients in late disease stages should, thus, be regularly examined to detect asymptomatic retinal abnormalities and prevent visual impairment."

duchenne:31168774 | Skipping of an exon with a nonsense mutation in the DMD gene is induced by the conversion of a splicing enhancer to a splicing silencer. | [
"Modulation of dystrophin pre-mRNA splicing is an attractive strategy to ameliorate the severe phenotype of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), although this requires a better understanding of the mechanism of splicing regulation. Aberrant splicing caused by gene mutations provides a good model to study splicing regulatory cis-elements and binding proteins. In this study, we identified skipping of in-frame exon 25 induced by a nonsense mutation (NM_004006.2:c.3340A > T;p.Lys1114*) in the DMD gene. Site-directed mutagenesis study in minigenes suggested that c.3340A > T converts an exonic splicing enhancer sequence (ESE) to a silencer element (ESS). Indeed, RNA pull-down and functional study provided evidence that c.3340A > T abolishes the binding of the splicing enhancer protein Tra2β and promotes interactions with the repressor proteins hnRNP A1, hnRNP A2, and hnRNP H. By carefully analyzing the sequence motif encompassing the mutation site, we concluded that the skipping of exon 25 was due to disruption of a Tra2β-dependent ESE and the creation of a new ESS associated with hnRNP A1 and hnRNP A2, which in turn increased the recruitment of hnRNP H to a nearby binding site. Finally, we demonstrated that c.3340A > T impairs the splicing of upstream intron 24 in a splicing minigene assay. In addition, we showed that the correct splicing of exon 25 is finely regulated by multiple splicing regulators that function in opposite directions by binding to closely located ESE and ESS. Our results clarify the detailed molecular mechanism of exon skipping induced by the nonsense mutation c.3340A > T and also provide information on exon 25 splicing."

duchenne:31118394 | Rapidly Progressive Heart Failure in a Female Carrier of Becker Muscular Dystrophy with No Skeletal Muscle Symptoms. | [
"Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) carriers are at risk to developing cardiac dysfunction. The prevalence of female BMD carriers remains underestimated, and the disease progression varies. We herein report the case of a young female BMD carrier who developed dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure without any skeletal muscle signs. Her cardiac dysfunction progressed over a mere two months, resulting in the need for left ventricular assist device implantation. Her case demonstrates that progressive cardiomyopathy can be the only clinical manifestation in some BMD carriers, suggesting the need for a more aggressive implementation of genetic testing in female DCM patients."

duchenne:30944907 | Therapeutic approach with Ataluren in Duchenne symptomatic carriers with nonsense mutations in dystrophin gene. Results of a 9-month follow-up in a case report. | [
"Duchenne muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a X-linked degenerative disorder affecting skeletal muscles and myocardium caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, mainly deletions and duplications. Point-mutations account for 13% and stop codon mutations are even more unfrequent. A drug treatment for patients with DMD caused by stop codon gene mutations and still ambulant, has become recently available, based on the clear demonstration of its efficacy in slowing the course of the disease. The drug is able to read through the stop codon; furthermore it has the advantage of an oral administration and a better patient's compliance. We report a case of a still ambulant 27 year-old DMD symptomatic carrier with a stop-codon mutation in exon 53 (c.7792C > T; p.Gln2598Stop), who started the treatment with Ataluren at a dosage of 2,250 mg/die, reporting a prompt subjective improvement in muscle strength. Unfortunately two months after, the patient discontinued taking the drug for a traumatic femur fracture requiring surgical repair and prolonged rehabilitation. With the resumption of the drug intake in February 2018, the patient reported almost immediately an improvement in motor skills, including the possibility of recovering walking, first with support and then unsupported. These results seem even more encouraging, as Duchenne patients hardly recover the ability to walk following a fracture at this age and extend the possibility to treat with ataluren also the symptomatic Duchenne carriers who have nonsense dystrophin gene mutations. Furthermore the case here reported supports the concept that symptomatic DMD female carriers must enjoy the same therapeutic opportunities offered to males."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of inherited muscular dystrophy. Germline mutations in dystrophin (DMD) gene cause DMD, with a X-linked recessive mode of inheritance. Patients with DMD are usually characterized by weakness of muscle, usually started since childhood and gradually the patient will unable to stand and walk.",
"In our present study, we identified four unrelated Chinese patients with DMD from four Chinese families. Whole exome sequencing was performed for genetic molecular analysis for these probands.",
"Whole exome sequencing and confirmatory Sanger sequencing identified four novel nonsense mutations in these four unrelated Chinese patients, respectively. All these four mutations lead to the formation of a truncated DMD protein by formation of a premature stop codon. According to the variant interpretation guidelines of American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), these four novel nonsense mutations are categorized as \"likely pathogenic\" variants.",
"Our present finding not only identified four novel loss-of-function mutations in dystrophin (DMD) gene but also strongly emphasized the significance of whole exome sequencing as the most efficient way of identifying the candidate genes and mutations which enables us for easy and rapid clinical diagnosis, follow-up, and management of DMD patients."

"In African neurological practice, muscle disorders are either underdiagnosed or underrepresented. This may in part be due to the large burden of other more common neurological disorders. In this report we describe the first Tanzanian patient with genetically confirmed Becker muscular dystrophy. His phenotype and genotype were compatible with elsewhere in the world. Remarkably, this patient reported his progressive weakness of the legs with difficulty in walking only after a fall. We demonstrate that muscular dystrophies occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Neurologists must however be aware that patients are likely to delay seeking medical care for muscle disorders."

duchenne:30875388 | The intracellular Ca2+ concentration is elevated in cardiomyocytes differentiated from hiPSCs derived from a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy. The major symptoms of this condition are walking difficulties, dyspnea caused by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, and cardiomyopathy. Recent advances in ventilator support devices have dramatically decreased mortality caused by respiratory distress. Consequently, cardiomyopathy resulting in heart failure is currently the major cause of death among DMD patients. One mechanism by which skeletal muscle is damaged in DMD patients involves elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. By contrast, the mechanisms underlying the development of cardiomyopathy are unclear. To investigate this, we examined the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and calcium transients in cardiomyocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). hiPSCs were derived from a DMD patient (DMD-hiPSCs), in whom exon 44 of the gene encoding dystrophin was deleted, and from his parents (control-hiPSCs), who did not carry this mutation. The intracellular Ca2+ concentration was measured using the fluorescent indicator indo-1. The fluorescence ratio (410/490 nm) of indo-1 at rest (R0), the peak of this ratio (Rmax), and the amplitude (Rmax-R0) were significantly higher in cardiomyocytes differentiated from DMD-hiPSCs than in those differentiated from control-hiPSCs. Moreover, mechanical stretching significantly increased the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in cardiomyocytes differentiated from DMD-hiPSCs, but not in those differentiated from control-hiPSCs. These findings indicate that elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration can cause cardiac damage leading to cardiomyopathy in DMD patients."

duchenne:30796070 | Use of home telemedicine for critical illness rehabilitation: an Indian success story. | [
"One-fifth of healthcare beneficiaries in developed nations get discharged from hospitals to physician supervised skilled nursing care facilities. In low-income and middle-income countries like India, postdischarge skilled nursing facilities are at a very nascent stage and largely underequipped in terms of infrastructure, skilled nursing and physician staff to manage complicated patients. Hence the responsibility of management of such patients lies largely with their families. We present a case where a 26-year-old man with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy who became ventilator dependent following major surgeries was weaned off his ventilator and rehabilitated back to his prehospital state. This was done at his home with visiting nurses and rehabilitation services under telemedicine supervision by a critical care specialist. Use of telemedicine services could be a viable and cost-effective option to ensure adherence to evidence-based medicine and standardisation of care in resource limited countries such as India."

duchenne:30723005 | Coexistence of a CAV3 mutation and a DMD deletion in a family with complex muscular diseases. | [
"Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can comprehensively detect both pathogenic single nucleotide variants and copy number variants, enabling identification of a coexistence of two or more genetic etiologies. Here we report a family consisting of individuals with Becker muscular dystrophy and rippling muscle disease. The proband, a 12-year-old boy, was diagnosed with Becker muscular dystrophy with exon 45-55 DMD deletions at age 4. He had myalgia and muscle stiffness. Interestingly, percussion-induced muscle mounding (PIMM), which is a characteristic of rippling muscle disease, was also observed. The father also showed muscle stiffness, myalgia, fatigability, muscle rippling and PIMM. WES revealed a missense CAV3 mutation (NM_033337.2:c.80G>A) in the proband, the father, the oldest sister and the grandmother, who had an elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) level. The c.80G>A mutation was considered pathogenic according to ACMG guidelines. The second older sister, the mother and the paternal grandfather did not have the CAV3 mutation and had normal CK. Using two programs for copy number analysis with WES data, we successfully identified the DMD deletion in the proband, the older sister and the mother. We revealed the coexistence of the CAV3 mutation and the DMD deletion in a family with complex muscular diseases and confirmed the usefulness of WES for elucidating such etiology."

duchenne:30646960 | DP71 and SERCA2 alteration in human neurons of a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient. | [
"Cognitive deficit has been identified in one third of patients affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, primarily attributed to loss of the short Dp71 dystrophin, the major brain dystrophin isoform. In this study, we investigated for the first time the Dp71 and Dp71-associated proteins cellular localization and expression in human neurons obtained by differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cell line of a patient affected by cognitive impairment. We found structural and molecular alterations in both pluripotent stem cell and derived neurons, reduced Dp71 expression, and a Ca2+ cytoplasmic overload in neurons coupled with increased expression of the SERCA2 pump in the dystrophic neurons. These results suggest that the reduction of Dp71 protein in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy neurons leads to alterations in SERCA2 and to elevated cytosolic Ca2+ concentration with consequent potential disruption of the dystrophin proteins and Dp71-associated proteins."

duchenne:30545545 | Mosaicism in carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy mutation - Implication for prenatal diagnosis. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe disorder caused by mutation in the X-linked dystrophin gene, therefor carrier testing is required for all female family members. However, there are cases mutation analysis cannot detect any mutation due to a phenomenon called mosaicism. The case report describes a case of mosaicism in a DMD carrier and discusses the approach in diagnosis and counseling of familial disorder.",
"The proband was diagnosed with DMD at age six. Sequencing of Dystrophin gene identified a 2-nucleotide deletion c.2032_2033delCA, p.Q678DfsX41. Family investigation suggested that the mother was an obligate carrier of Dystrophin mutation. Sequencing of DNA sample from the mother's peripheral blood did not reveal any mutation, there for we take sample from hair follicle for analysis. The result indicated that the mother was a carrier but was masked from initial analysis by mosaicsism.",
"We suggested that more care need to be taken in identifying cases when no mutation was detected in probable or obligate carrier and prenatal diagnosis should remain an option."

duchenne:30410390 | Caudal epidural block instead of general anesthesia in an adult with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), first described in 1834, is an X-linked dystrophinopathy, leading to early onset skeletal muscle weakness. Life expectancy is reduced to early adulthood as a result of involvement of voluntary skeletal muscles with respiratory failure, orthopedic deformities, and associated cardiomyopathy. Given its multisystem involvement, surgical intervention may be required to address the sequelae of the disease process. We present a 36-year-old adult with DMD, who required anesthetic care during surgical debridement of an ischial pressure sore. Given his significant respiratory muscle involvement, ultrasound-guided caudal epidural anesthesia was used instead of general during the surgical procedure. The technique and its applications are discussed, with particular emphasis on the feasibility and safety of using regional anesthetic techniques in patients with DMD."

duchenne:30326162 | Interventions for preventing and treating cardiac complications in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy and X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy. | [
"The dystrophinopathies include Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy (XLDCM). In recent years, co-ordinated multidisciplinary management for these diseases has improved the quality of care, with early corticosteroid use prolonging independent ambulation, and the routine use of non-invasive ventilation signficantly increasing survival. The next target to improve outcomes is optimising treatments to delay the onset or slow the progression of cardiac involvement and so prolong survival further.",
"To assess the effects of interventions for preventing or treating cardiac involvement in DMD, BMD, and XLDCM, using measures of change in cardiac function over six months.",
"On 16 October 2017 we searched the Cochrane Neuromuscular Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE and Embase, and on 12 December 2017, we searched two clinical trials registries. We also searched conference proceedings and bibliographies.",
"We considered only randomised controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-RCTs and randomised cross-over trials for inclusion. In the Discussion, we reviewed open studies, longitudinal observational studies and individual case reports but only discussed studies that adequately described the diagnosis, intervention, pretreatment, and post-treatment states and in which follow-up lasted for at least six months.",
"Two authors independently reviewed the titles and abstracts identified from the search and performed data extraction. All three authors assessed risk of bias independently, compared results, and decided which trials met the inclusion criteria. They assessed the certainty of evidence using GRADE criteria.",
"We included five studies (N = 205) in the review; four studies included participants with DMD only, and one study included participants with DMD or BMD. All studied different interventions, and meta-analysis was not possible. We found no studies for XLDCM. None of the trials reported cardiac function as improved or stable cardiac versus deteriorated.The randomised first part of a two-part study of perindopril (N = 28) versus placebo (N = 27) in boys with DMD with normal heart function at baseline showed no difference in the number of participants with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) of less than 45% after three years of therapy (n = 1 in each group; risk ratio (RR) 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07 to 15.77). This result is uncertain because of study limitations, indirectness and imprecision. In a non-randomised follow-up study, after 10 years, more participants who had received placebo from the beginning had reduced LVEF% (less than 45%). Adverse event rates were similar between the placebo and treatment groups (low-certainty evidence).A study comparing treatment with lisinopril versus losartan in 23 boys newly diagnosed with Duchenne cardiomyopathy showed that after 12 months, both were equally effective in preserving or improving LVEF% (lisinopril 54.6% (standard deviation (SD) 5.19), losartan 55.2% (SD 7.19); mean difference (MD) -0.60% CI -6.67 to 5.47: N = 16). The certainty of evidence was very low because of very serious imprecision and study limitations (risk of bias). Two participants in the losartan group were withdrawn due to adverse events: one participant developed an allergic reaction, and a second exceeded the safety standard with a fall in ejection fraction greater than 10%. Authors reported no other adverse events related to the medication (N = 22; very low-certainty evidence).A study comparing idebenone versus placebo in 21 boys with DMD showed little or no difference in mean change in cardiac function between the two groups from baseline to 12 months; for fractional shortening the mean change was 1.4% (SD 4.1) in the idebenone group and 1.6% (SD 2.6) in the placebo group (MD -0.20%, 95% CI -3.07 to 2.67, N = 21), and for ejection fraction the mean change was -1.9% (SD 9.8) in the idebenone group and 0.4% (SD 5.5) in the placebo group (MD -2.30%, 95% CI -9.18 to 4.58, N = 21). The certainty of evidence was very low because of study limitations and very serious imprecision. Reported adverse events were similar between the treatment and placebo groups (low-certainty evidence).A multicentre controlled study added eplerenone or placebo to 42 patients with DMD with early cardiomyopathy but preserved left ventricular function already established on ACEI or ARB therapy. Results showed that eplerenone slowed the rate of decline of magnetic resonance (MR)-assessed left ventricular circumferential strain at 12 months (eplerenone group median 1.0%, interquartile range (IQR) 0.3 to -2.2; placebo group median 2.2%, IQR 1.3 to -3.1%; P = 0.020). The median decline in LVEF over the same period was also less in the eplerenone group (-1.8%, IQR -2.9 to 6.0) than in the placebo group (-3.7%, IQR -10.8 to 1.0; P = 0.032). We downgraded the certainty of evidence to very low for study limitations and serious imprecision. Serious adverse events were reported in two patients given placebo but none in the treatment group (very low-certainty evidence).A randomised placebo-controlled study of subcutaneous growth hormone in 16 participants with DMD or BMD showed an increase in left ventricular mass after three months' treatment but no significant improvement in cardiac function. The evidence was of very low certainty due to imprecision, indirectness, and study limitations. There were no clinically significant adverse events (very low-certainty evidence).Some studies were at risk of bias, and all were small. Therefore, although there is some evidence from non-randomised data to support the prophylactic use of perindopril for cardioprotection ahead of detectable cardiomyopathy, and for lisinopril or losartan plus eplerenone once cardiomyopathy is detectable, this must be considered of very low certainty. Findings from non-randomised studies, some of which have been long term, have led to the use of these drugs in daily clinical practice.",
"Based on the available evidence from RCTs, early treatment with ACE inhibitors or ARBs may be comparably beneficial for people with a dystrophinopathy; however, the certainty of evidence is very low. Very low-certainty evidence indicates that adding eplerenone might give additional benefit when early cardiomyopathy is detected. No clinically meaningful effect was seen for growth hormone or idebenone, although the certainty of the evidence is also very low."

duchenne:30303263 | Identification of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy mosaic carriers through a combined DNA/RNA analysis. | [
"The Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD) carrier screening includes the evaluation of mutations in DMD gene, and the most widely used analysis is the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for the DMD deletions/duplications detection. The high frequency of de novo mutations permits to estimate a risk up to 20% of mosaicisms for mothers of sporadic DMD children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternative analytical strategy for the detection of mosaics carrier women, in order to improve the recurrence risk estimation.",
"Different DNA and RNA analyses were conducted on samples from a woman that conceived a DMD fetus without previous family history of dystrophynopathy.",
"Standard MLPA analysis failed to identify mosaicism, even if MLPA doses suggested it. Electrophoresis and direct sequencing conducted on RNA permitted to detect two different amplicons of cDNAs, demonstrating the presence of somatic mosaicism. Subsequent detection of a second affected fetus confirmed the mosaic status on the mother.",
"The implementation of RNA analysis in diagnostic algorithm can increase the sensitivity of carrier test for mothers of sporadic affected patients, permitting detection of mosaic status. A revision of analytical guidelines is needed in order to improve the recurrence risk estimation and support prenatal genetic counseling."

duchenne:30270335 | [Cerebral embolism in Duchenne muscular dystrophy after respiratory tract infection - Report of two cases]. | [
"We report cerebral embolism in 2 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) after respiratory tract infection. A 31-year-old man (Case 1) was admitted to the hospital because of an upper respiratory tract infection, then suddenly developed left-sided hemiparesis. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an intracardiac thrombus in the left ventricle, and, under assumption of cardioembolic stroke, oral anticoagulation was initiated. Case 2 was a 36-year-old man who developed dysphasia after increasing sputum. Based on brain CT scan findings, we confirmed a diagnosis of cerebral infarction. There was no recurrence in either case. Both cases developed cerebral infarction due to embolism after mild upper respiratory tract infections. DMD patients have various risk factors for thrombus and embolus, while physicians should also be aware of possible cerebral infarction and other coagulation disorders irrespective of respiratory and cardiac therapy."

duchenne:30217487 | Myoglobinuria in two patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy after treatment with zoledronate: a case-report and call for caution. | [
"Rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria is a recognized complication of dystrophinopathies. It can be triggered by infections, exercise or volatile anesthetics. To our knowledge, it has never been reported in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) after the administration of bisphosphonates. We report two patients with DMD who presented an apparent transient rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria after zoledronate administration. Possible mechanisms could involve hypophosphatemia, a known dose-dependent side effect of bisphosphonates, and/or direct myotoxicity of biphosphonates. Physicians and families should be aware of rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria as a potential uncommon side effect of bisphosphonates in DMD, in particular of zoledronate."

duchenne:30214127 | Importance of long-term motor function evaluation after prednisolone treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"[Purpose] Motor function evaluation by physical therapists is considered a valuable tool to assess the progression of muscular dystrophies. Few reports have described long-term motor function assessment during the administration of corticosteroids such as prednisolone (PSL) in these patients. This study examined the importance of long-term non-invasive motor function evaluation in a series of 3 cases. [Participants and Methods] Three boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who were administered an identical PSL dosage regimen were retrospectively evaluated, and motor function tests were compared in them before and after an increase in PSL dosage. Regular feedback was obtained from the patients' mothers regarding their impressions of their child's motor function after the introduction of PSL. [Results] Motor function was conserved or significantly improved after an increase in dosage in all cases. Interestingly, subjective assessment by mothers revealed a perceived improvement only in case 1 without any changes reported in cases 2 or 3. [Conclusion] PSL was demonstrably effective for 2.5-5 years after initiating PSL treatment, although parental impressions varied. Thus, long-term non-invasive evaluation by physical therapists may provide important objective data regarding medication efficacy and disease progression. Future studies should include long-term testing results as an essential component of the discontinuation criteria for PSL."

"Cardiac dysfunction is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This case highlights the importance of steroids in treating cardiac complications of DMD and the dangers of discontinuing or switching between steroid classes.",
"To recognize the presentation of acute myocardial inflammation, or dystrophinitis, in DMD, which presents as myocarditis and to treat the myocardial inflammation and dilated cardiomyopathy associated with DMD through guideline-directed medical therapy, steroids, and serial surveillance for cardiac dysfunction.",
"A case report of an 18-year-old patient with DMD and with steroid withdrawal-induced myocarditis followed up for 3 years to observe for cardiac function recovery and the natural history of cardiomyopathy in DMD, who was hospitalized in the cardiac care unit and followed up between November 3, 2016, and March 27, 2017.",
"Switching from deflazacort to underdosed prednisone for 7 days.",
"Increased myocardial inflammation, edema, and fibrosis after stopping deflazacort abruptly.",
"An 18-year-old male patient with DMD presented to the emergency department with acute-onset chest pain. Ischemic changes were present on electrocardiogram, and elevated cardiac enzymes were detected. Depressed cardiac function and potential evidence of inflammation were seen on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, characterized by elevated T2 values and late gadolinium enhancement. These findings were all consistent with acute myocarditis but without a viral prodrome. Several days prior to presentation, the patient's deflazacort was abruptly discontinued and converted to an equivalent dose of prednisone. After restarting deflazacort, his symptoms improved, and subsequent CMR showed resolution of myocardial edema and improved left ventricular function.",
"This case highlights adverse effects associated with changing between corticosteroid classes in DMD cardiomyopathy and also demonstrates the utility of CMR in detecting myocardial inflammation and monitoring response to treatment."

duchenne:30103083 | A novel mutation of dystrophin in a Becker muscular dystrophy family with severe cardiac involvement: from genetics to clinicopathology. | [
"Dystrophin gene defects are the pathogenic molecular basis of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), characterised by skeletal myopathy and cardiomyopathy. Because of the broad phenotype spectrum, it was difficult to use the traditional diagnostic method to achieve an early accurate diagnosis of BMD-associated cardiomyopathy.",
"We applied an in-house gene panel testing and a gene-filtering strategy to investigate the genetic defect in a four-generation family with 73 members. The proband had a heart transplant due to heart failure; the explanted heart was subjected to a careful pathological analysis.",
"A novel small in-frame mutation (c.4998_5000 del CAG, p.1667 del Ala) of the dystrophin gene was identified and co-segregated in the affected family members. By using the image segmentation technology, we found the left ventricular free wall demonstrated severe fibrofatty replacement of cardiac myocytes from the epicardium to the endocardium.",
"We identified a novel dystrophin mutation (p.1667 del Ala), resulting in BMD-associated cardiomyopathy that demonstrated the pathological features of significant fibrofatty replacement in the sub-epicardial layer of the ventricle; further, the high-throughput sequencing is helpful for making an early diagnosis of BMD."

duchenne:30069101 | Mutation Location and Cognitive Impairment in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. | [
"Cognitive impairment is commonly seen in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Few studies have shown a correlation between loss of different isoforms of the DMD gene and cognitive impairment.",
"The objective of the study was to determine whether correlation exists in the location of mutation in DMD gene or loss of different isoforms and cognitive impairment in children with DMD in the Indian population.",
"Ten children were evaluated. Gene mutation analysis was done by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method. The isoforms affected were inferred from mutation location in each of these patients. Binet Kamat Intelligence Test (BKT) and Bender Gestalt test (BGT) were administered.",
"All male patients were aged between 4 and 9 years. Genetic analysis showed deletion in all patients, with seven having deletion in \"hotspot\" regions (exon 43-52). Psychometric analysis by BGT and BKT showed mean score of 8.6 and mean IQ score of 85.5, respectively. Comparison between patients with hotspot mutations and mutations in other regions, for mean IQ score and BGT score, was statistically significant (P = 0.132 and P = 0.005, respectively). The difference in the IQ score between patients with isolated Dp427 loss (n = 3) and cumulative Dp427/Dp260/Dp140utr loss (n = 6) was statistically significant (P = 0.011). Visuomotor functioning was more impaired in patients with isolated Dp427 loss.",
"The role of cumulative loss of isoforms along with importance of loss of Dp140pc isoform was seen in our study. One patient with loss of Dp140utr isoform had intellectual impairment which is not commonly seen. Visuomotor functioning is more affected in more upstream mutations as shown in our study."

duchenne:30001927 | Ketoacidosis in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: A report on 4 cases. | [
"The longer survival in Duchenne dystrophy can be associated with previously unrecognised medical issues, in particular cardiac and nutritional problems, which provide new challenges in the management of these patients. We describe a series of patients who have DMD presenting with severe acid base abnormalities due to ketoacidosis. The cases described all developed the abnormalities in the context of decreased dietary intake. In all cases, the acid-base derangement resolved with intravenous glucose infusion. We conclude that decreased calorific intake for any reason can lead to very severe acid-base derangement in patients with DMD. The treatment is relatively simple once the problem has been identified. An awareness of this potential complication is important for all clinicians involved in the acute care of these patients."

duchenne:29984652 | Phenotypic Characterization of a Family With An In-frame Deletion in the DMD Gene and Variable Penetrance. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a disorder with variable expression caused by framedisrupting mutations in the dystrophin gene. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and dilated cardiomyopathy. In-frame dystrophin mutations cause a clinically moderate disorder named Becker muscular dystrophy. Our aim was to study the clinical and genetic characteristics of a family with inherited cardiomyopathy and Becker muscular dystrophy. The index case was diagnosed with psychomotor retardation at 5 years of age. Asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and a long QT interval were evidenced at the age of 12. Mild muscular weakness was developed subsequently. Three genetic variants were identified in the index case: p.Arg891Alafs*160 in the MYBPC3 gene, p.Thr263Met in the KCNJ5 gene, and p.Ser2437_Ile2554delinsPhe in the DMD gene. The latter was expected to generate an in-frame deletion of exons 51 and 52 of the dystrophin gene. A family study revealed that the father and 3 uncles were carriers of the MYBPC3 mutation. The mother and a maternal grandfather were carriers of the other 2 variants. The 80-year-old grandfather, who had the dystrophin mutation, showed no sign of cardiomyopathy or muscular weakness. The deletion of exons 51 and 52 in the DMD gene, which has been proposed as one of the therapeutic strategies for Duchenne, is consistent with a normal life expectancy and the absence of myopathic symptoms in hemizygous males."

duchenne:29862154 | Muscular and cardiac manifestations in a Duchenne-carrier harboring a dystrophin deletion of exons 12-29. | [
"Female carriers of mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD-carriers) may manifest clinically in the skeletal muscle, the heart, or both. Cardiac involvement may manifest before, after, or together with the muscle manifestations. A 46y female developed slowly progressive weakness of the lower and upper limbs with left-sided predominance since age 26y. Muscle enzymes were repeatedly elevated and muscle biopsy showed absence of dystrophin. MLPA analysis revealed a deletion of exons 12-29. After starting steroids at age 39y, she developed palpitations and exertional dyspnoea. Cardiac MRI at age 41y revealed mildly reduced systolic function, a slightly enlarged left ventricle, mild hypokinesia of the entire myocardium, and focal, transmural late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of the midventricular lateral wall. She did not tolerate beta-blockers but profited from ivabradine and lisinopril. In conclusion, muscle manifestations in DMD-carriers with deletions of exons 12-29 may start years before cardiac involvement becomes clinically apparent. Progressive worsening of systolic function in DMD-carriers is attributable to progressive myocardial fibrosis, as demonstrated by LGE. Steroids may trigger the development of cardiac disease in DMD-carriers."

duchenne:29843823 | A novel canine model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD): single nucleotide deletion in DMD gene exon 20. | [
"Boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have DMD gene mutations, with associated loss of the dystrophin protein and progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. Corticosteroids and palliative support are currently the best treatment options. The long-term benefits of recently approved compounds such as eteplirsen and ataluren remain to be seen. Dogs with naturally occurring dystrophinopathies show progressive disease akin to that of DMD. Accordingly, canine DMD models are useful for studies of pathogenesis and preclinical therapy development. A dystrophin-deficient, male border collie dog was evaluated at the age of 5 months for progressive muscle weakness and dysphagia.",
"Dramatically increased serum creatine kinase levels (41,520 U/L; normal range 59-895 U/L) were seen on a biochemistry panel. Histopathologic changes characteristic of dystrophinopathy were seen. Dystrophin was absent in the skeletal muscle on immunofluorescence microscopy and western blot. Whole genome sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, and Sanger sequencing revealed a frameshift, single nucleotide deletion in canine DMD exon 20, position 27,626,466 (c.2841delT mRNA), resulting in a stop codon six nucleotides downstream. Semen was archived for future line perpetuation.",
"This spontaneous canine dystrophinopathy occurred due to a novel mutation in the minor DMD mutation hotspot (between exons 2 through 20). Perpetuating this line could allow for preclinical testing of genetic therapies targeted to this area of the DMD gene."

duchenne:29778277 | Interpretation of acid α-glucosidase activity in creatine kinase elevation: A case of Becker muscular dystrophy. | [
"Diagnosis of Pompe disease is sometimes challenging because it exhibits clinical similarities to muscular dystrophy.",
"We describe a case of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) with a remarkable reduction in activity of the acid α-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme, caused by a combination of pathogenic mutation and polymorphism variants resulting in pseudodeficiency in GAA. The three-year-old boy demonstrated asymptomatic creatine kinase elevation. Neither exon deletion nor duplication was detected on multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) of DMD. GAA enzyme activity in both dried blood spots and lymphocytes was low, at 11.7% and 7.7% of normal, respectively. However, genetic analysis of GAA detected only heterozygosity for a nonsense mutation (c.118C > T, p.Arg40∗). Muscle pathology showed no glycogen deposits and no high acid phosphatase activity. Hematoxylin-eosin staining detected scattered regenerating fibers; the fibers were faint and patchy on immunochemistry staining of dystrophin. The amount of dystrophin protein was reduced to 11.8% of normal, on Western blotting analysis. Direct sequencing analysis of DMD revealed hemizygosity for a nonsense mutation (c.72G > A, p.Trp24∗). The boy was diagnosed with BMD, despite remarkable reduction in GAA activity; further, he demonstrated heterozygosity for [p.Gly576Ser; p.Glu689Lys] polymorphism variants that indicated pseudodeficiency on another allele in GAA.",
"Pseudodeficiency alleles are detected in approximately 4% of the Asian population; these demonstrate low activity of acid α-glucosidase (GAA), similar to levels found in Pompe disease. Clinicians should be careful in their interpretations of pseudodeficiency alleles that complicate diagnosis in cases of elevated creatine kinase."

duchenne:29739182 | Combination of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and inline hemofiltration for the acute hyperkalemic cardiac arrest in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy following orthopedic surgery -a case report. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common childhood muscular dystrophy that anesthesiologists can encounter in the operation room, and patients with DMD are susceptible to complications such as rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemic cardiac arrest, and hyperthermia during the perioperative period. Acute onset of hyperkalemic cardiac arrest is a crisis because of the difficulty in achieving satisfactory resuscitation owing to the sustained hyperkalemia accompanied by rhabdomyolysis.",
"We here report a case of a 13-year-old boy who had multiple leg fractures and other trauma after a car accident and who had suffered from acute hyperkalemic cardiac arrest. He was refractory to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and showed sustained hyperkalemia. With extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and in-line hemofiltration, he recovered from repeated cardiac arrest and hyperkalemia.",
"Combining ECMO and in-line hemofiltration might be a safe and effective technique for refractory hyperkalemic cardiac arrest and rhabdomyolysis in patients with DMD."

duchenne:29701428 | Anaesthetic Management in a Duchennne Muscle Dystrophy Patient for Treatment of Recurrent Pneumothorax. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an x linked recessive disorder. Long term prognosis is ominous, with development of respiratory distress and cardiomyopathy in advanced stage of the disease and expected death in the teens-to-mid 20s due to respiratory or cardiac failure. Peri-operative management of this patients is challenging due to difficult airway anatomy (macroglossia, limited neck and mandibular mobility). Additionally, they are at risk of developing malignant hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis and hyperkalemic cardiac arrest when exposed to halogenated inhalational anaesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants.",
"We describe a case of DMD proposed to a thoracotomy for treatment of recurrent pneumothorax and its anaesthetic approach.",
"A 22-year-old male patient with DMD presented at emergency department due dyspnoea starting at 3 days associated with right scapular pain, enhanced by breathing. The patient already presents with mild cardiomyopathy (ejection fraction of 55%, mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation), severe restrictive respiratory defect, requiring continuous BiPAP. The patient was markedly denourished (BMI of 12 kg/m2) and presented with nearly absent breathing sounds on the right side. Chest radiography showed large pneumothorax on the right side with no signs of tension. Drainage was performed. Despite initial success, recurrence of pneumothorax occurred on the several attempts of clamping. A bronchopleural fistula was suspected and operative treatment was considered. Considering the comorbidities, he was graded ASA IV with a difficult airway due to macroglossia, limited neck and mandibular mobility. Oro-tracheal intubation was performed with slight sedation (propofol, without neuromuscular blocks). Difficult airway anatomy (direct laryngoscopy - Cormack 4) successfully approached with a bougie and Mccoy blade. Fibreoptic intubation approach was immediately available in the operating room, if required. Total intravenous anaesthesia was decided (remifentanil and propofol, administered by continuous infusion, without neuromuscular blockers). Volume controlled protective ventilation as used (tidal volume 6-8ml/kg, respiratory frequency of 14-16/ min; FiO2: 0,5). No bronchopleural fistula was detected and pleurodesis was performed with biologic glue. Patient remained intubated and was transferred to the ICU for monitoring, having been discharged on the 2nd day to the ward. Despite this, pneumothorax recurrence occurred, and surgery was performed again, using the same anaesthetic approach, this time with successful closure of the bronchopleural fistula.",
"Total intravenous anaesthesia, without neuromuscular blockers, is a safe and effective option for DMD patients. Anaesthesiologists must consider the possibility of cardio-pulmonary disabilities, difficult airway management, as well as the high risk of malignant hyperthermia in these patients."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked progressive muscle degenerative disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene.

duchenne:29628849 | Pectoralis blocks for insertion of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in two patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) often have systemic manifestations with comorbid involvement of the cardiac and respiratory systems that increase the risk of anesthetic and perioperative morbidity. These patients frequently develop progressive myocardial involvement with cardiomyopathy, depressed cardiac function, and arrhythmias. The latter may necessitate the placement of an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) insertion. As a means of avoiding the need for general anesthesia and its inherent potential of morbidity, regional anesthesia may be used in specific cases. We present two cases of successful AICD insertion in patients with DMD using unilateral pectoralis and intercostal nerve blocks supplemented with intravenous sedation. Relevant anatomy for this regional anesthetic technique is reviewed and benefits of this anesthetic technique compared to general anesthesia are discussed."

duchenne:29610677 | Potential association of LMNA-associated generalized lipodystrophy with juvenile dermatomyositis. | [
"Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is an auto-immune muscle disease which presents with skin manifestations and muscle weakness. At least 10% of the patients with JDM present with acquired lipodystrophy. Laminopathies are caused by mutations in the lamin genes and cover a wide spectrum of diseases including muscular dystrophies and lipodystrophy. The p.T10I LMNA variant is associated with a phenotype of generalized lipodystrophy that has also been called atypical progeroid syndrome.",
"A previously healthy female presented with bilateral proximal lower extremity muscle weakness at age 4. She was diagnosed with JDM based on her clinical presentation, laboratory tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). She had subcutaneous fat loss which started in her extremities and progressed to her whole body. At age 7, she had diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, low leptin levels and low body fat on dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan, and was diagnosed with acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL). Whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a heterozygous c.29C > T; p.T10I missense pathogenic variant in LMNA, which encodes lamins A and C. Muscle biopsy confirmed JDM rather than muscular dystrophy, showing perifascicular atrophy and perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration. Immunofluroscence of skin fibroblasts confirmed nuclear atypia and fragmentation.",
"This is a unique case with p.T10I LMNA variant displaying concurrent JDM and AGL. This co-occurrence raises the intriguing possibility that LMNA, and possibly p.T10I, may have a pathogenic role in not only the occurrence of generalized lipodystrophy, but also juvenile dermatomyositis. Careful phenotypic characterization of additional patients with laminopathies as well as individuals with JDM is warranted."

duchenne:29610182 | Unusual Presentations of Dystrophinopathies in Childhood. | [
"X-linked recessive mutations in the dystrophin gene are one of the most common causes of inherited neuromuscular disorders in humans. Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the most common phenotype, and Becker muscular dystrophy are often recognizable by certain clinical features; however, less frequent presentations require a higher degree of suspicion. In this article, we describe a series of 6 children (4 boys, 2 girls) referred to a tertiary pediatric neuromuscular clinic for isolated elevated creatine kinase levels (range: 720-7000 IU/L) identified on initial assessment for otherwise unexplained transaminase elevations (n = 2), a social communication disorder (n = 3), and exertional myalgia and/or rhabdomyolysis (n = 1). There was no preceding family history of neuromuscular disease. One boy had an additional history of severe cerebral palsy and cyclical vomiting, and 1 girl had a history of maternal hepatitis C. There was no significant weakness at presentation, and the majority remained stable over a prolonged period of follow-up (age range at last follow-up: 9-16 years). All 6 children were found to carry dystrophin gene mutations resulting in milder phenotypes. This series highlights that dystrophinopathies may not uncommonly present with features distinct from the classic Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy phenotypes in both boys and girls. Pediatricians should be aware of such atypical presentations to initiate a timely and adequate diagnostic process. Establishing the correct genetic diagnosis of a dystrophinopathy is important to allow appropriate genetic counseling, to implement relevant surveillance and management strategies, and to avoid unnecessary investigations in search of an incorrect alternative diagnosis."

duchenne:29556034 | Clinical and molecular consequences of exon 78 deletion in DMD gene. | [
"We present a 13-year-old patient with persistent increase of serum Creatine Kinase (CK) and myalgia after exertion. Skeletal muscle biopsy showed marked reduction of dystrophin expression leading to genetic analysis of DMD gene by MLPA, which detected a single deletion of exon 78. To the best of our knowledge, DMD exon 78 deletion has never been described in literature and, according to prediction, it should lead to loss of reading frame in the dystrophin gene. To further assess the actual effect of exon 78 deletion, we analysed cDNA from muscle mRNA. This analysis confirmed the absence of 32 bp of exon 78. Exclusion of exon 78 changes the open reading frame of exon 79 and generate a downstream stop codon, producing a dystrophin protein of 3703 amino acids instead of 3685 amino acids. Albeit loss of reading frame usually leads to protein degradation and severe phenotype, in this case, we demonstrated that deletion of DMD exon 78 can be associated with a functional protein able to bind DGC complex and a very mild phenotype. This study adds a novel deletion in DMD gene in human and helps to define the compliance between maintaining/disrupting the reading frame and clinical form of the disease."

duchenne:29552091 | Mechanical thrombectomy in a young stroke patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive skeletal muscle myopathy which is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Lack of dystrophin also results to cardiomyopathy, which raises significantly the stroke risk in DMD-patients. However, data about therapeutic opportunities in the acute setting are scarce in literature. So far, only two cases receiving IV thrombolysis are described, one of them with fatal outcome.",
"Case report of a case of successful mechanical thrombectomy (MTE) in an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patient with DMD and associated dilatative cardiomyopathy.",
"A 20-year old DMD-patient was transferred at 08:56 h to our department due to wake up stroke with severe right-sided hemiparesis and aphasia (NIHSS=20). Last-seen-normal was at 03:00 h. Cerebral CT-scan revealed only slight early ischemic changes (ASPECT-Score=8). CT-angiography detected occlusion of left middle cerebral artery (LMCA). MTE started rapidly at 9:23 h and using direct thrombus aspiration (Penumbra System®) complete recanalization was achieved 20 min later (TICI-grade 3). Considering the specific risks of general anesthesia in DMD, the procedure was performed with propofol, remifentanil and rocuronium. The patient recovered quickly from the acute symptoms, due to preexisting hypotonic tetraparesis his NIHSS-score at discharge was 12 points.",
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on MTE in a patient with DMD related cardioembolic stroke. In contrast to the few reports with IV thrombolysis, MTE seems to represent an optimal treatment option. Specific characteristics of DMD-patients like anesthetic regimen should be taken into account."

"Muscular dystrophies are a clinically and heterogeneous group of disorders that all share clinical characteristics of progressive muscular weakness. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common X-linked disorder muscular dystrophy in children, presenting in early childhood and characterized by proximal muscle weakness and calf hypertrophy in affected boys. There is usually delay in motor development and eventually wheelchair confinement followed by premature death from cardiac or respiratory complications. Treatment modalities such as corticosteroid therapy and use of intermittent positive pressure ventilation have provided improvements in function, ambulation, quality of life, and life expectancy, although novel therapies still aim to provide a cure for this devastating disorder. Here, we present a case of DMD in a 12-year-old male with remarkable clinical and oral manifestations."

duchenne:29390271 | Prenatal diagnosis for a Chinese family with a de novo DMD gene mutation: A case report. | [
"Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) usually have severe and fatal symptoms. At present, there is no effective treatment for DMD, thus it is very important to avoid the birth of children with DMD by effective prenatal diagnosis. We identified a de novo DMD gene mutation in a Chinese family, and make a prenatal diagnosis.",
"First, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was applied to analyze DMD gene exon deletion/duplication in all family members. The coding sequences of 79 exons in DMD gene were analyzed by Sanger sequencing in the patient; and then according to DMD gene exon mutation in the patient, DMD gene sequencing was performed in the family members. On the basis of results above, the pathogenic mutation in DMD gene was identified.",
"MLPA showed no DMD gene exon deletion/duplication in all family members. Sanger sequencing revealed c.2767_2767delT [p.Ser923LeufsX26] mutation in DMD gene of the patient. Heterozygous deletion mutation (T/-) at this locus was observed in the pregnant woman and her mother and younger sister. The analyses of amniotic fluid samples indicated negative Y chromosome sex-determining gene, no DMD gene exon deletion/duplication, no mutations at c.2767 locus, and the inherited maternal X chromosome different from that of the patient.",
"The pathogenic mutation in DMD gene, c.2767_2767delT [p.Ser923LeufsX26], identified in this family is a de novo mutation. On the basis of specific conditions, it is necessary to select suitable methods to make prenatal diagnosis more effective, accurate, and economic."

duchenne:29377139 | Late-onset Becker-type muscular dystrophy in a Border terrier dog. | [
"A 9-year-old Border terrier was presented to a referral hospital after a 1-year history of progressive stiffness and exercise intolerance. Neurological examination was consistent with a neuromuscular disorder. Serum creatine kinase activity was mildly elevated. A myopathy was suspected based on MRI findings and electrophysiological examination. Muscle histopathology was consistent with a severe non-inflammatory myopathy of a dystrophic type. Immunofluorescence and western blotting confirmed a dystrophinopathy with an 80-kDa truncated dystrophin fragment similar to Becker muscular dystrophy in people. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a late-onset Becker-type muscular dystrophy in a dog, and the first description of a dystrophinopathy in a Border terrier. Muscular dystrophy in dogs should not be ruled out based on late onset clinical signs and only mildly elevated creatine kinase."

duchenne:29373175 | A novel point mutation affecting Asn76 of dystrophin protein leads to dystrophinopathy. | [
"Mutations in the DMD gene lead to Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). Missense mutations are rare cause of DMD/BMD. A six-month-old male patient presented with mild generalized muscle weakness, hypotonia, and delayed motor development. Dystrophinopathy was suspected because of highly elevated serum creatine kinase level (1497 U/L) and tiered DMD gene analysis was performed. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay showed deletion of exon 4, which could not be confirmed by another method. Sequencing of exon 4 revealed a novel de novo point mutation (c.227A>T, p.Asn76Ile) in the N-terminal actin-binding domain (N-ABD) of dystrophin protein. The false positive MLPA result was explained by the fact that the affected nucleotide lies directly at the 3' ligation site of the MLPA probe. Sequencing of the whole coding region of DMD gene proved c.227A>T to be the sole variant being potentially pathogenic. According to in silico analyses the mutation was predicted to be highly destabilizing on N-ABD structure possibly leading to protein malfunction. Muscle biopsy was performed and dystrophin immunohistochemistry results were suggestive of BMD. Our results highlight the importance of confirmatory testing of single-exon deletions detected by MLPA and we describe a novel, destabilizing missense mutation in the DMD gene."

duchenne:29305136 | Low-level dystrophin expression attenuating the dystrophinopathy phenotype. | [
"The reading frame rule suggests that Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results from DMD mutations causing an out-of-frame transcript, whereas the milder Becker muscular dystrophy results from mutations causing an in-frame transcript. However, predicted nonsense mutations may instead result in altered splicing and an in-frame transcript. Here we report a 10-year-old boy with a predicted nonsense mutation in exon 42 who had a 6-minute walk time of 157% of that of age matched DMD controls, characterized as intermediate muscular dystrophy. RNA sequencing analysis from a muscle biopsy revealed only 6.0-9.8% of DMD transcripts were in-frame, excluding exon 42, and immunoblot demonstrated only 3.2% dystrophin protein expression. Another potential genetic modifier noted was homozygosity for the protective IAAM LTBP4 haplotype. This case suggests that very low levels of DMD exon skipping and dystrophin protein expression may result in amelioration of skeletal muscle weakness, a finding relevant to current dystrophin-restoring therapies."

duchenne:29273555 | Novel noncontiguous duplications identified with a comprehensive mutation analysis in the DMD gene by DMD gene-targeted sequencing. | [
"Genomic rearrangements, such as intragenic deletions and duplications, are the most prevalent types of mutation in the DMD gene, and DMD mutations underlie Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Using multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and DMD gene-targeted sequencing, we performed a molecular characterization of two cases of complex noncontiguous duplication rearrangements that involved inverted duplications. The breakpoint sequences were analyzed to investigate the mechanisms of the rearrangement. The two cases shared the same duplication events (Dup-nml-Dup/inv), and both involved microhomology and small insertions at the breakpoints. Additionally, in case 1, SNP sequencing results indicated that the de novo duplication mutation arose in the allele that originated from the grandfather. This study has identified a novel type of DMD complex rearrangement and provides insight into the molecular basis of this genomic rearrangement."

duchenne:29246534 | Next Generation Sequencing approach to molecular diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy; identification of a novel mutation. | [
"Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD; MIM 310200) is one of the most common and severe type of hereditary muscular dystrophies. The disease is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. The dystrophin gene is associated with X-linked recessive Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. This disease occurs almost exclusively in males. The clinical symptoms of muscle weakness usually begin at childhood. The main symptoms of this disorder are gradually muscular weakness. The affected patients have inability to standing up and walking. Death is usually due to respiratory infection or cardiomyopathy. In this article, we have reported the discovery of a new nonsense mutation that creates abnormal stop codon in the dystrophin gene. This mutation was detected using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technique. The subject was a 17-year-old male with muscular dystrophy that who was suspected of having DMD. He was referred to Hakim medical genetics center of Neyshabur, IRAN."

duchenne:29177627 | Virtual 3D planning of tracheostomy placement and clinical applicability of 3D cannula design: a three-step study. | [
"We aimed to investigate the potential of 3D virtual planning of tracheostomy tube placement and 3D cannula design to prevent tracheostomy complications due to inadequate cannula position.",
"3D models of commercially available cannula were positioned in 3D models of the airway. In study (1), a cohort that underwent tracheostomy between 2013 and 2015 was selected (n = 26). The cannula was virtually placed in the airway in the pre-operative CT scan and its position was compared to the cannula position on post-operative CT scans. In study (2), a cohort with neuromuscular disease (n = 14) was analyzed. Virtual cannula placing was performed in CT scans and tested if problems could be anticipated. Finally (3), for a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and complications of conventional tracheostomy cannula, a patient-specific cannula was 3D designed, fabricated, and placed.",
"(1) The 3D planned and post-operative tracheostomy position differed significantly. (2) Three groups of patients were identified: (A) normal anatomy; (B) abnormal anatomy, commercially available cannula fits; and (C) abnormal anatomy, custom-made cannula, may be necessary. (3) The position of the custom-designed cannula was optimal and the trachea healed.",
"Virtual planning of the tracheostomy did not correlate with actual cannula position. Identifying patients with abnormal airway anatomy in whom commercially available cannula cannot be optimally positioned is advantageous. Patient-specific cannula design based on 3D virtualization of the airway was beneficial in a patient with abnormal airway anatomy."

"Chilaiditi syndrome is a rare pathophysiology in which the colon or other organs are interposed between the diaphragm and liver, and respiratory or digestive symptoms sometimes manifest. Although there have been some cases of Chilaiditi syndrome complicating neuromuscular disorders, none have described resulting respiratory or digestive symptoms.",
"Our patient was a 20-year-old man with DMD who had been receiving noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation during the night. He experienced respiratory distress when changing from a supine to sitting position. Ventilator adjustment did not relieve the respiratory distress. Abdominal computed tomography revealed marked constipation and interposition of the transverse colon between the diaphragm and liver, indicating Chilaiditi syndrome. The right side of the diaphragm was elevated by the interposed transverse colon when the respiratory distress was present on chest radiograph, but not when symptoms were absent. The patient was diagnosed with platypnea-orthodeoxia attributed to Chilaiditi syndrome. The respiratory distress was improved by the relief of constipation, in addition to the usage of the ventilator throughout the day.",

duchenne:28972564 | Exonization of an Intronic LINE-1 Element Causing Becker Muscular Dystrophy as a Novel Mutational Mechanism in Dystrophin Gene. | [
"A broad mutational spectrum in the dystrophin (DMD) gene, from large deletions/duplications to point mutations, causes Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (D/BMD). Comprehensive genotyping is particularly relevant considering the mutation-centered therapies for dystrophinopathies. We report the genetic characterization of a patient with disease onset at age 13 years, elevated creatine kinase levels and reduced dystrophin labeling, where multiplex-ligation probe amplification (MLPA) and genomic sequencing failed to detect pathogenic variants. Bioinformatic, transcriptomic (real time PCR, RT-PCR), and genomic approaches (Southern blot, long-range PCR, and single molecule real-time sequencing) were used to characterize the mutation. An aberrant transcript was identified, containing a 103-nucleotide insertion between exons 51 and 52, with no similarity with the DMD gene. This corresponded to the partial exonization of a long interspersed nuclear element (LINE-1), disrupting the open reading frame. Further characterization identified a complete LINE-1 (~6 kb with typical hallmarks) deeply inserted in intron 51. Haplotyping and segregation analysis demonstrated that the mutation had a de novo origin. Besides underscoring the importance of mRNA studies in genetically unsolved cases, this is the first report of a disease-causing fully intronic LINE-1 element in DMD, adding to the diversity of mutational events that give rise to D/BMD."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common muscle disease found in male children. Currently, there is no effective therapy available for Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. Therefore, it is essential to make a prenatal diagnosis and provide genetic counseling to reduce the birth of such boys. We report a case of preimplantation genetic diagnosis associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The couple E.P.R., 38-year-old, symptomatic patient heterozygous for a 2 to 47 exon deletion mutation in DMD gene and G.T.S., 39-year-old, sought genetic counseling about preimplantation genetic diagnosis process. They have had a 6-year-old son who died due to Duchenne muscular dystrophy complications. The couple underwent four cycles of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and eight embryos biopsies were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for specific mutation analysis, followed by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridisation (array CGH) for aneuploidy analysis. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis revealed that two embryos had inherited the maternal DMD gene mutation, one embryo had a chromosomal alteration and five embryos were normal. One blastocyst was transferred and resulted in successful pregnancy. The other embryos remain vitrified. We concluded that embryo analysis using associated techniques of PCR and array CGH seems to be safe for embryo selection in cases of X-linked disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy."

duchenne:28851391 | Surface EMG signals in very late-stage of Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a case study. | [
"Robotic arm supports aim at improving the quality of life for adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) by augmenting their residual functional abilities. A critical component of robotic arm supports is the control interface, as is it responsible for the human-machine interaction. Our previous studies showed the feasibility of using surface electromyography (sEMG) as a control interface to operate robotic arm supports in adults with DMD (22-24 years-old). However, in the biomedical engineering community there is an often raised skepticism on whether adults with DMD at the last stage of their disease have sEMG signals that can be measured and used for control.",
"In this study sEMG signals from Biceps and Triceps Brachii muscles were measured for the first time in a 37 year-old man with DMD (Brooke 6) that lost his arm function 15 years ago. The sEMG signals were measured during maximal and sub-maximal voluntary isometric contractions and evaluated in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and co-activation ratio. Beyond the profound deterioration of the muscles, we found that sEMG signals from both Biceps and Triceps muscles were measurable in this individual, although with a maximum signal amplitude 100 times lower compared to sEMG from healthy subjects. The participant was able to voluntarily modulate the required level of muscle activation during the sub-maximal voluntary isometric contractions. Despite the low sEMG amplitude and a considerable level of muscle co-activation, simulations of an elbow orthosis using the measured sEMG as driving signal indicated that the sEMG signals of the participant had the potential to provide control of elbow movements.",
"To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that sEMG signals from a man with DMD at the last-stage of the disease were measured, analyzed and reported. These findings offer promising perspectives to the use of sEMG as an intuitive and natural control interface for robotic arm supports in adults with DMD until the last stage of the disease."
