duchenne:25838855 | Challenges in the management of the child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a resource poor setting:a case report. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a progressive genetic disease with no cure at present. Children suffering from this disease eventually become wheelchair bound and die in their late teens. Paediatricians caring for the child with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in resource poor settings face a lot challenges. These challenges include: poverty, inadequate multidisciplinary care, emotional burn-out of parents and lack of facilities for dystrophin assay or genetic testing."

duchenne:25804023 | A new de novo mutation in a non-hot spot region at the DMD gene in a Mexican family. | [
"In this report we present the analysis of a sporadic case of DMD and his family. In the present case, a deletion of exons 18-47 is presented which predicts abolition of the reading frame and is located between the well-known deletion hot spots of the DMD gene. This mutation was not previously reported in the Leiden database (LOVD). Both MLPA and segregation analysis with short tandem repeat markers elucidated the status of the mother, sister and the younger brother of the proband, who were not carriers of the mutation. This case provides a description of a new pathogenic variant presented as de novo mutation in a DMD patient. Haplotype analysis and complete gene screening may improve genetic counseling in cases of germline mosaicism and de novo mutations."

duchenne:24322432 | Alternatives to mouthpiece noninvasive ventilatory support to permit dental care. | [
"Patients who are dependent on continuous noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation for ventilatory support via angled mouthpiece interfaces during daytime hours often need dental interventions that are prevented by the presence of the mouthpiece. To permit dental interventions, however, the noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation can most conveniently and safely be delivered via nasal interface using oximetry monitoring as long as both sedation and supplemental oxygen are avoided. Three mouthpiece continuous noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation users are described who were switched to nasal noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation to permit dental care. The most common mistake is to fail to cover the nasal interface exhalation portals when switching from ventilatory assistance by bilevel positive airway pressure devices with passive ventilator circuits to portable ventilators with active ventilator circuits and exhalation valves."

duchenne:24318042 | De novo mutation in DMD gene in a patient with combined hemophilia A and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"We report an unusual case of a patient with two combined X-linked diseases, severe hemophilia A (HA) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), of which only HA was hereditary. There was no family history of muscular dystrophy. Genetic analysis revealed that HA was caused by the hereditary coagulation factor VIII (F8) intron 22 inversion (distal/type I inversion), whereas DMD was caused by a de novo deletion in the dystrophin gene. This is the first report of a patient with two severe X-linked diseases, of which only HA was hereditary. Despite the fact that the probability of acquiring two X-linked abnormalities, one hereditary and one de novo, is extremely low, the emergence of such cases indicates that genetic testing for distinct X-linked diseases could be of importance in patients with hereditary hemophilia."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common neuromuscular disease affecting boys. Advances in their care can delay the progression of DMD-related disability and prolong survival. The administration of glucocorticoids is among these advances. Glucocorticoid therapy, however, is associated with a myriad of potential adverse effects, and treating physicians as well as patients and their family members must understand the benefit/risk ratio of glucocorticoid therapy. Although current best evidence supports the use of glucocorticoids in patients with DMD, many are not offered the option. Considerable variability in practice also exists regarding when and how these drugs should be administered."

duchenne:24305454 | The new frontier of genetically targeted therapies for muscle disease. | [
"This article presents the case of a 5-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who is eligible to enroll in a clinical trial of gene therapy for this disorder. His parents are grappling with the decision about whether to enroll him. Among the issues under consideration are the potential risks and benefits to him, the costs of participating (because frequent, partially reimbursed travel is involved), and the potential cost savings of receiving this treatment on a research basis rather than as a clinically approved therapy. His parents seek the advice of his pediatric neurologist. After careful consideration of the various factors above, the pediatric neurologist explains to the family that participating in the trial is ethically permissible but that, given the uncertain benefits and potential for substantial expenses without benefit to the child, participation should not be regarded as ethically obligatory."

duchenne:24070816 | 'Double trouble': diagnostic challenges in Duchenne muscular dystrophy in patients with an additional hereditary skeletal dysplasia. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in Dystrophin and affects 1 in 3600-6000 males. It is characterized by progressive weakness leading to loss of ambulation, respiratory insufficiency, cardiomyopathy, and scoliosis. We describe the unusual phenotype of 3 patients with skeletal dysplasias in whom an additional diagnosis of DMD was later established. Two unrelated boys presented with osteogenesis imperfecta due to point mutations in COL1A1 and were both subsequently found to have a 1 bp frameshift deletion in the Dystrophin gene at age 3 and age 15 years, respectively. The third patient had a diagnosis of pseudoachondroplasia caused by a mutation in the COMP gene and was found to have a deletion of exons 48-50 in Dystrophin at age 9. We discuss the atypical presentation caused by the concomitant presence of 2 conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, emphasizing aspects that may confound the presentation of a well-characterized disease like DMD. Additional series of patients with DMD and a secondary inherited condition are necessary to establish the natural history in this \"double trouble\" population. The recognition and accurate diagnosis of patients with two independent genetic disease processes is essential for management, prognosis, genetic risk assessment, and discussion regarding potential therapeutic interventions."

duchenne:24065205 | Novel mutation in exon 56 of the dystrophin gene in a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne type muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an allelic X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. Genotype analysis has shown that deletion mutations account for approximately 65% of all cases, and 5-10% are duplications, while the remaining 30% of affected individuals may have smaller mutations, including point mutations, small deletions or small insertions. In this study, we present the case of a 4-year-old boy with typical clinical features of DMD, who developed normally until the age of 2. However, at age 3 he presented his first symptom, a tendency to fall, had difficulty in rising from the floor and in walking on his toes. At age 4 he had a waddling gait and could no longer climb stairs. A physical examination revealed proximal muscle weakness, calf hypertrophy, deep tendon hyporflexia and a positive Gower's sign. To identify the disease-causing gene in the proband, all coding regions (exons 1-79) of the dystrophin gene were PCR-amplified and sequenced. A novel duplication (c.8284dupA) in exon 56 of the dystrophin gene was identified, which was predicted to generate a frameshift mutation and create a premature termination codon (p.Ile2762Asnfs*10). This mutation was further confirmed by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, which revealed an extra band found in exon 56 of the dystrophin in the proband; however, this was not present in his family members or in the 100 matched normal controls. The data presented in this study may aid in expanding the spectrum of mutations causing DMD. To our knowledge, we demonstrate for the first time that a small duplication mutation can cause severe DMD."

"The muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited disorders characterized in the most of cases by progressive muscle weakness. The best known are X-linked disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). BMD is a milder form of the disease with a later age of onset and a slower clinical progression. The DMD gene, located on Xp21, is the largest human gene in the human genome (2.3 Mb). DMD gene consists of 79 exons and codes for dystrophin protein. A 9-year-old boy, who experienced symptoms of the disease, was admitted to the Casablanca University Children's Hospital. The patient, with no known family history of significant muscle disease, was first examined at 4 years of age because of walking difficulties and a limited hands force. Blood tests revealed elevated serum levels of creatine kinase (7.60 U/L). The electromyogram showed myopathic changes, consisting of polyphasic potentials, and the muscular biopsy revealed dystrophic aspect. Analysis of the dystrophin-encoding gene by PCR deletion analysis of the dystrophin gene was performed by multiplex PCR primer sets of Chamberlain and Beggs. The analysis showed a deletion of exons 45 to 49. Mother genetic testing showed the heterozygosis deletion."

He was admitted to the hospital and investigated for post-infectious nephritis, but further analysis revealed the presence of myoglobinuria. Immunohistochemistry on muscle tissue revealed absent expression of α-sarcoglycan confirmed by detection of a homozygous mutation in the alpha-sarcoglycan gene. Myoglobinuria has been previously reported four times in sarcoglycanopathies but only once in alpha-sarcoglycanopathy.",
"The present observation reinforces the idea that the myoglobinuria should be considered a manifestation of a primary sarcoglycanopathy even as the only recognizable sign at the debut of the disease."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by a genetic defect resulting in absent dystrophin, yet children are able to walk when small and young but lose this ability as they grow. The mdx mouse has absent dystrophin yet does not exhibit significant disability.",
"Allometric modeling of linearly increasing load per muscle fiber and stress on the sarcolemma with growth and exponential decline associated with loss of muscle fibers correlated with case studies and animal models of DMD.",
"Smaller species or breeds are predictably less affected than large as follows: mdx mice < small golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) dogs < large GRMD dogs < humans. Case reports of combined growth hormone and dystrophin deficiency show a relatively benign course of disease.",

duchenne:23821427 | Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular studies in ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency novel mutation c.802A>G in exon 8 (p.Met268Val). | [
"Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, an X-linked, semidominant disorder, is the most common inherited de-fect in ureagenesis, resulting in hyperammonaemia type II. The OTC gene, localised on chromosome X, has been mapp-ed to band Xp21.1, proximate to the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene. More than 350 different mutations, including missense, nonsense, splice-site changes, small de-letions or insertions and gross deletions, have been describ-ed so far. Almost all mutations in consensus splicing sites confer a neonatal phenotype. Most mutations in the OTC gene are 'private' and are distributed throughout the gene with a paucity of mutation in the sequence encoding the leader peptide (exon 1 and beginning of exon 2) and in exon 7. They have familial origin or occur de novo. Even with sequencing of the entire reading frame and exon/intron boundaries, only about 80% of the mutations are detected in patients with proven OTC deficiency. The remainder probably occur within the introns or in regulatory domains. The authors present a 4-year-old boy with the unreported missense mutation c.802A>G.

duchenne:23740413 | Coexistence of peripheral myelin protein 22 and dystrophin mutations in a chinese boy. | [
"We describe a 10-year-old Chinese boy with features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).",
"Case report.",
"Weakness and mild sensory loss in the distal extremities, pes cavus, and nerve conduction findings suggested demyelinating neuropathy, while moderate calf pseudohypertrophy, proximal muscle weakness, a myopathic pattern on electromyography, and deficiency of dystrophin immunohistochemical staining on muscle biopsy indicated DMD. Genetic testing revealed a large deletion spanning exon 50 in the gene coding for dystrophin and duplications in the gene coding for peripheral myelin protein 22.",
"This is an interesting and very rare case of CMT type 1A comorbid with DMD. This results in an unusual phenotype and rapid deterioration of motor function. Usage of both target region capture and next generation sequencing is a powerful tool for predicting precisely the range of the large DNA fragment deletion in DMD."

duchenne:23731976 | Assessment of a symptomatic Duchenne muscular dystrophy carrier 20 years after myoblast transplantation from her asymptomatic identical twin sister. | [
"Because it is due to a mutation on the X-chromosome, Duchenne muscular dystrophy rarely affects women, unless there is an unequal lyonisation of the X-chromosome containing the normal dystrophin gene. We report here the unique situation of a symptomatic Duchenne muscular dystrophy woman who was transplanted with myoblasts received from her asymptomatic monozygotic twin sister 20 years ago. Specific dynamometry was performed to possibly detect a long-term effect of this cell therapy. Long-term safety of myoblast transplantation was established by this exceptional case. However, long-term efficacy could not be definitively asserted for this patient, in spite of several clues suggesting beneficial effects."

duchenne:23729708 | Analysis using histograms of muscle CT images in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"We showed that the shape of the thigh CT value histogram, which was reflecting muscle and fat, changed with the disease progression in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and this shape of the histogram will employ a new analytical method. CT images of the middle part of the thigh were acquired in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy once a year from 6 to 11 years of age. Regions apparently corresponding to subcutaneous fat, bone and bone marrow were manually excluded, and the CT values were calculated to prepare histograms. His motor disability was also evaluated employing Vignos functional rating scale. A single peak was noted in the muscle CT value range in the histogram at the youngest age. The muscle-to-fat ratio in muscle decreased with the worsening of his disease disability level and the peak of the histogram shifted from the muscle to the fat CT value."

"Dystrophinopathies are X-linked recessive neuromuscular diseases caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. In this study we aimed to detect mutations within the dystrophin gene in DMD patients, to determine the carrier status of women, and to perform a prenatal diagnosis.",
"We analyzed 17 individuals from 2 unrelated families with a history of DMD. We used multiplex PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and short tandem-repeat (STR) segregation analysis to accurately detect and characterize the mutations and to identify the at-risk haplotype.",
"The selected methodology allowed for characterization of 2 single-exon out-of-frame deletions in affected patients. Nine of 13 women and a fetus were excluded from being carriers. Three recombination events were found and suggested that germline mosaicism had occurred in both families.",
"This methodology proved to be efficient for characterizing the disease-causing mutation in affected individuals and for assessing the carrier status in healthy relatives. These findings helped inform precise genetic counseling and contributed to characterization of the disease in the Argentine population."

"A 44-year-old male patient with known Becker muscular dystrophy and concomitant non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy presented to our department because of worsening heart failure and presyncope. Upon admission, the patient was in New York Heart Association functional class III despite optimal pharmacological treatment; his ECG showed sinus rhythm with left bundle branch block and a wide QRS complex. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was recorded during 24-hour Holter monitoring. A complete three-dimensional echocardiographic study was performed and documented the dilatation and concomitant hypertrabeculation of the left ventricle (LV), with severely depressed systolic LV performance (ejection fraction 20%), as well as mechanical dyssynchrony--mainly in terms of intraventricular delay. A biventricular cardioverter-defibrillator (CRT-D) was implanted in this patient, with the LV lead in a lateral vein and the right ventricular defibrillating lead in the apical part of the interventricular septum. Echocardiography-guided device programming was performed in order to achieve the optimal atrio-, inter-, and intraventricular resynchronization. The patient's clinical condition was substantially improved within one month after the implantation."

duchenne:23680947 | Skin biopsy: a new tool to diagnose sarcoglycanopathy. | [
"Muscular dystrophies are progressive, genetic disorders of muscle degeneration. The current gold standard for diagnosis is muscle biopsy or genetic studies. Muscle biopsy is an invasive procedure and genetic testing facilities are available only in a few centers. Thus, a diagnostic test that is easily available, simpler, and less invasive is desirable. Over the past 2 decades, skin biopsy has been evolving as a suitable option. Two cases of sarcoglycanopathy are described here, which have been correctly diagnosed by skin biopsy. Muscle biopsy has been used as the gold-standard diagnostic method. Skin biopsy can substitute for muscle biopsy as the preliminary diagnostic tool directing appropriate molecular testing. However, these results require validation in studies with an adequate sample size. This holds promise for the future when repeated biopsies will be required for evaluating protein rescue in trials of novel treatment options in these disorders."

duchenne:23676236 | Ultra-widefield imaging of Duchenne muscular dystrophy-associated proliferative retinal vasculopathy improved with panretinal laser photocoagulation alone. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder whose ophthalmic associations most commonly consist of pigmentary fundus changes and scotopic electroretinogram abnormalities. A 23-year-old man with advanced DMD and associated cardiopulmonary compromise complaining of floaters presented with a striking retinal vasculopathy characterized by vitreous hemorrhage, neovascularization, capillary drop-out, and prominent saccular venular aneurysms diffusely throughout the fundus of both eyes. This vasculopathy was promptly treated with panretinal phocoagulation with marked improvement to at least 1 year. This report suggests that early identification and prompt treatment of DMD may be important in managing this condition."

duchenne:23649991 | Dissecting the structure and mechanism of a complex duplication-triplication rearrangement in the DMD gene. | [
"Pathogenic complex genomic rearrangements are being increasingly characterized at the nucleotide level, providing unprecedented opportunities to evaluate the complexities of mutational mechanisms. Here, we report the molecular characterization of a complex duplication-triplication rearrangement involving exons 45-60 of the DMD gene. Inverted repeats facilitated this complex rearrangement, which shares common genomic organization with the recently described duplication-inverted triplication-duplication (DUP-TRP/INV-DUP) events; specifically, a 690-kb region comprising DMD exons from 45 to 60 was duplicated in tandem, and another 46-kb segment containing exon 51 was inserted inversely in between them. Taking into consideration (1) the presence of a predicted PRDM9 binding site in the near vicinity of the junction involving two inverted L1 elements and (2) the inherent properties of X-Y chromosome recombination during male meiosis, we proposed an alternative two-step model for the generation of this X-linked DMD DUP-TRP/INV-DUP event."

duchenne:23603544 | [Two cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy over 40 years after onset]. | [
"We report two 45 year old men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Case 1 showed a deleted exon 50 of the dystrophin gene by MLPA analysis, and Case 2 showed deleted exons 46-52. Both patients presented with severe weakness of the skeletal muscles and respiratory dysfunction, while cardiac involvement was mild and cognitive function was almost normal. The patients are able to shop at a mall, participate in activities, and attend hobbies, although they are bedridden with artificial respiration through tracheotomy. With the progress of the respiratory care and cardiac protective therapy, the prognosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy has improved remarkably. At present, it is possible to survive over 40 years with maintenance of quality of life, if cardiac damage is not severe."

duchenne:23574351 | A family with fragile X syndrome, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and ichthyosis transmitted by an asymptomatic carrier. | [
"The human X chromosome carries regions prone to genomic instability: deletions in the Xp22.31 region, involving the steroid sulfatase gene (STS) cause X-linked ichthyosis; rearrangements in the Xp21.2 region are associated with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD or BMD); and the Xq27.3 unstable region, containing the (CGG)n repeat expansion in the FMR1 gene is associated with fragile X syndrome. We report on a family with two affected boys, the elder diagnosed with fragile X syndrome, the younger with DMD, and both suffering from severe ichthyosis. The family was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and haplotype analysis. The mother proved to be an asymptomatic carrier of all three non-contiguous mutation events, involving the STS gene, the DMD gene and a FMR1 expansion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of an asymptomatic carrier of three different X-linked disorders, involving severe genetic rearrangements on both long and short arms of the X chromosomes. The boy with fragile X syndrome has inherited a triple recombinant maternal X chromosome, this way inheriting the FMR1 expansion and ichthyosis, originating most probably from different maternal Xes and excluding the DMD gene deletion. The transmission of these extremely defective maternal chromosomes to the next generation involved several recombinations."

duchenne:23503897 | Intraoperative airway obstruction in a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient. | [
"To report a complication of airway obstruction during spinal deformity correction surgery in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patient, due to lordoscoliosis, airway malacia, and prone surgical positioning, which was rectified by changing the position of the patient and surgery was successfully completed.",
"A 15-year-old boy was diagnosed with DMD and admitted for surgical treatment of thoracolumbar scoliosis. The patient's preoperative Cobb's angle was 79° and the kyphotic angle was -19°. During the initial period of surgery, while in the prone position, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) suddenly increased from 20-21 to 38-41 cmH2O, wheezing sounds were heard on auscultation of both lungs, and his blood pressure began to fall. Under suspicion of airway problem, intraoperative fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed which confirmed airway obstruction. Attributing patient's prone position as the cause of airway obstruction, the surgical position of the patient was changed from prone to semi-lateral. After this change, the PIP stabilized to within normal limits (20-23 cmH2O). The surgical correction was successfully completed with a posterior-only pedicle screw by the free-hand technique, with the patient in the semi-lateral position for the rest of surgery.",
"Lordoscoliosis and airway malacia in a patient with DMD can lead to occlusion of the tracheobronchial lumen when the patient is in the prone position. Changing the patient's position from prone to semi-lateral can be of help to reverse this airway obstruction and complete the surgery. Pedicular screw insertion can be safely and effectively carried out in this position using free-hand technique."

"A 20-year-old man with normal motor milestones as an infant but subsequent progressive difficulty in walking in childhood, was genetically confirmed to have Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) at age 13. He was independent in ambulation and activities of daily living. He was referred to the Department of Uro-neurology for a 5-year history of urinary urgency and incontinence. He would visit the toilet 10 times in the daytime and experience urinary urgency daily, often associated with incontinence. He did not report difficulties initiating voiding, stress incontinence, pain, or hematuria. There was no history of urinary tract infections."

duchenne:23345479 | NGS identifies TAZ mutation in a family with X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy. | [
"We reported a family with two male siblings affected with infantile dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Extensive evaluation failed to identify the underlying cause for the DCM. Next generation sequencing (NGS) with targeted enrichment identified a hemizygous variant c.718G>C (p.Gly240Arg) in the TAZ gene. This variant has been reported in three other families with X linked infantile DCM and is therefore likely pathogenic. NGS allows efficient screening of a large number of uncommon genes in complex disorders like DCM, in which there is substantial genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The identification of TAZ mutation has major impact on their medical care as the surveillance needs to be expanded to cover for the Barth syndrome, a severe metabolic phenotype also caused by TAZ mutation, in addition to DCM."

She was treated for peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), beta-blockers and diuretics with normalisation of her cardiac function within six months. Four years later, her son was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and she tested positive as a carrier of the mutant gene. It is unclear whether the DMD carrier state alone is associated with increased susceptibility to PPCM or if this is merely the first expression of cardiomyopathy in a previously asymptomatic carrier."

"Camptocormia, or bent spine syndrome, is an abnormal posture consisting of forward flexion of the spine that disappears when a patient is supine. It is associated with a wide variety of myopathic disorders that affect paraspinal muscles, including inflammatory and inherited myopathies.",
"We describe a woman who presented with camptocormia in her eighth decade.",
"Skeletal muscle biopsy showed mild nonspecific changes, but her family history was significant for a son who died of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Genetic analysis of DMD confirmed that she was a heterozygous carrier of a mutation.",
"In the absence of any alternate explanation, we interpret her symptoms to be a manifestation of her DMD carrier state. To our knowledge, this represents the first reported example of camptocormia as the presenting symptom in a carrier and suggests that a manifesting carrier state should be considered in the differential diagnosis for women with unexplained camptocormia."

duchenne:23110537 | Comparison of X-chromosome inactivation in Duchenne muscle/myocardium-manifesting carriers, non-manifesting carriers and related daughters. | [
"Female carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are usually asymptomatic. However, 2.5-7.8% of them may present muscle symptoms and cardiomyopathy, attributed to a reduced production of dystrophin, probably because of skewed patterns of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). To evaluate the role of XCI in symptomatic (at muscle or heart level) and asymptomatic DMD carriers, 44 subjects were selected from our database (12 manifesting, 21 non-manifesting, 11 healthy females), and XCI pattern determined in the lymphocytes by the androgen receptor methylation-based assay. The results showed that DMD-manifesting carriers had a preferential inactivation of the X-chromosome carrying the normal allele, while non-manifesting carriers and healthy females showed a random XCI pattern. Moreover, when comparing muscle with heart manifesting carriers, the former group showed a higher degree of skewing. No concordance in XCI was found between mothers and daughters, when symptomatic/asymptomatic mother-daughter pairs were analyzed. The results confirm that DMD clinical manifestations in carriers are associated with non-random patterns of X inactivation."

duchenne:23030232 | Automatic single-trial classification of prefrontal hemodynamic activity in an individual with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow users to control external devices via brain activity alone, circumventing the somatic nervous system and the need for overt movement. Essential to BCI development is the ability to accurately detect and classify patterns of activation associated with different mental tasks. Here, we investigate the ability to automatically distinguish a mental arithmetic (MA) task from a natural baseline state in an individual with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) using signals acquired via multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Using dual-wavelength NIRS, we interrogated nine sites around the frontopolar locations while the individual performed MA to answer multiple-choice questions within a system-paced paradigm. An encouraging overall classification accuracy of 71.1% was obtained, which is comparable to the average accuracy we previously reported for healthy individuals performing the same task. This result demonstrates the potential of NIRS-BCI based on task-induced prefrontal activity for use by individuals with DMD."

duchenne:22980762 | MRI/MRS evaluation of a female carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"The purpose of this study was to evaluate skeletal muscle composition of lower extremity muscles in a manifesting female carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (MFC(DMD)) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS). MRI/MRS was performed on the lower extremities and heart of a MFC(DMD) (47 years, 51 kg) on four occasions within 21 months and in a control subject. Heterogeneity and asymmetry among muscles in the MFC(DMD) was observed in lipid fraction and mean transverse relaxation time (T(2)) of lower extremity muscles with some muscles presenting as unaffected (e.g., rectus femoris) and others showing substantial deterioration and lipid infiltration (e.g., vasti muscles). There was an association of abnormal MRI findings and strength and motor function. Over the 21 months a small decrease in CSA(max) and increase in lipid fraction and T(2) was observed in the MFC(DMD) in some muscles. In summary, this MFC(DMD) revealed significant imaging evidence of pathologic heterogeneity among muscles.

"We report a case of complete atrioventricular (AV) block in a 40-year-old patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). While he was bed-ridden and required mechanical ventilation, his cardiac involvement was mild. He had the deletion of exon 45-52 in the dystrophin gene. He underwent transient complete AV block and came to require pacemaker implantation due to recurrence of complete AV block ten days after the first attack. Electrophysiological study revealed mild prolonged AH and HV interval. Although DMD patients with AV block have been rarely reported so far, attention should be paid to AV block for patients who prolonged their lives."

"The identification of two independent mutations is rarely described between affected members of the same family with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This study reports the presence of two distinct intragenic dystrophin deletions in a Turkish family. Exon 54 deletion was identified originally in the proband, whereas his maternal cousin had deletions of exons 43-50 in the dystrophin gene. As indicated, only the mother of the proband was identified as exon 54 deletion carrier however, the proband's cousin was detected as a sporadic case. These molecular genetic data reveal an interesting and novel mixture, in the same family, of both mutations of the same gene."

duchenne:22939275 | Becker muscular dystrophy with widespread muscle hypertrophy and a non-sense mutation of exon 2. | [
"Becker muscular dystrophy features progressive proximal weakness, wasting and often focal hypertrophy. We present a patient with pain and cramps from adolescence. Widespread muscle hypertrophy, preserved muscle strength and a 10-20-fold raised CPK were noted. Muscle biopsy was dystrophic, and Western blot showed a 95% reduction of dystrophin levels. Genetic analyses revealed a non-sense mutation in exon 2 of the dystrophin gene. This mutation is predicted to result in a Duchenne phenotype, but resulted in a mild Becker muscular dystrophy with widespread muscle hypertrophy. We suggest that this unusual phenotype is caused by translation re-initiation downstream from the mutation site."

"We describe five patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who presented with acute neurologic and respiratory symptoms following minor trauma. Four of the five deteriorated rapidly and died within 36 h after falling. X-rays for fractures were negative. Four of the five patients were taking corticosteroids daily. All five patients fulfilled the clinical criteria for Fat Embolism Syndrome. Autopsy findings were consistent with fat embolism in two cases. Fat Embolism Syndrome needs to be considered in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy following minor trauma even without fractures. Early recognition of Fat Embolism Syndrome and aggressive resuscitation are important to improve survival. This report serves as an important reminder that seatbelts need to be used at all times."

duchenne:22908833 | Angioedema in progressive muscular dystrophy: a case report. | [
"Systemic allergic reactions, which include angioedema, are very common in clinical practice. There is great diversity in the etiological factors known to trigger angioedema, and in the pathogenetic mechanisms defining this condition. Beside the broad spectrum of immuno-allergic reactions involved in the angioedemic pathogenesis, this condition is known to also develop on the background of other disorders. These disorders may be of different etiology and have different pathogenesis (either non-immune or immune) but have one common feature referred to as \"serological overlap\". From research and clinical perspective, it is interesting to explore the combination of some rare neurological diseases, such as myopathies and in particular muscular dystrophies with systemic allergic reactions such as angioedema, urticaria and others. It is known that progressive muscular dystrophies (PMD) are hereditary diseases with different types of inheritance--X-chromosome recessive, X-chromosome dominant, autosomal dominant and others. In some forms, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an increased expression of perforin in muscle is found which is evidence for involvement of the cellular immune response in the pathogenesis of myopathy. It is in this sense that it is interesting to explore and discuss a clinical case diagnosed as a facioscapulohumeral form of PMD, which also manifests angioedema with urticaria.",
"We present a 41-year-old male hospitalized in the Division of Occupational Diseases and Allergology at St. George University Hospital in Plovdiv who suffered two incidents of massive angioedema on the face, back and chest, accompanied by an itchy urticarial rash. In 1985, after hospitalization to the Clinic of Neurology, he was diagnosed with PMD of facioscapulohumeral type. The medical history could not reveal any of the most common etiologic factors such as drugs, food, insects and other allergens that may be associated with the systemic allergic reactions. The abnormalities we found (although they are only of specific indices of humoral immunity) give some reasons to assume the hypothesis of possible causation between the primary neurological disorder as a trigger for this kind of allergy.",
"The reported case demonstrates that in addition to the cellular immunity abnormalities we identified, the abnormalities in some components of humoral immunity should also be taken into consideration. Good knowledge of the allergic factors and the mechanisms of allergic reactions is of paramount importance for an efficacious approach to the problems faced by patients with such rare pathology."

"A comprehensive analysis integrating clinical investigation, electrophysiological testing, pathological analysis and mutation screening was carried out.",
"The patient has presented clinical and pathological manifestations mimicking Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, genetic analysis has identified no deletion in 21 exons of Dystrophin gene, no pathologic expansion of CTG repeats in DMPK gene or CCTG repeats in ZFN9 gene. Instead, a homozygous deletion of exons 7 and 8 in SMN gene was discovered.",
"A rare case of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) was verified by genetic diagnosis. SMA is a group of neuromuscular disorders with great phenotypic heterogeneity and sometimes cannot be diagnosed by clinical manifestations, electrophysiological and pathological changes alone. Genetic diagnosis has become indispensable for accurate diagnosis for patients suspected to have the disease."

duchenne:22872540 | [Abdominal free air without signs of perforated abdominal viscus during non-invasive ventilation]. | [
"A 19-year-old patient suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy was admitted to our hospital with an acute bronchopulmonary infection. Four months ago noninvasive ventilation was started because of hypercapnic respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation had been used so far only at night. At the time of admission spontaneous breathing was not possible due to exhaustion of the respiratory muscles. The patient suffered from fever, limited cough strength and dyspnoea at rest. The abdomen was distended because of intestinal gas without clinical signs of acute abdomen.",
"Blood gas analysis showed respiratory acidosis even under mechanical ventilation. Laboratory tests showed an elevation of the inflammation indicating parameters. X-rays of the chest showed elevated diaphragms. Within the next days pneumonia could be seen in the left lower lobe. The patient had to be under mechanical ventilation almost 24 hours per day. Hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis normalized and the patient was able to breathe spontaneously for longer periods. The following days cutaneous emphysema developed and X-rays revealed free abdominal air on day 9 of the hospital stay.",
"The radiological findings have been confirmed during follow up X-rays without any clinical correlate. Inflammatory markers were decreasing. After the pneumonia had healed almost completely, the times on mechanical ventilation could be reduced. Subphrenic air resolved completely without any intervention.",
"Free subphrenic air without any clinical signs of acute abdomen does not necessarily force a surgical exploration. Under frequent follow up investigations a wait-and-see strategy could be justified. An explanation for the subphrenic air could be an interstitial emphysema due to increased intrathoracic pressure caused by the prolonged noninvasive ventilation, releasing the air through the diaphragmatic gaps into the abdomen."

duchenne:22773723 | Consider muscle disease in children with elevated transaminase. | [
"The transaminases alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are markers of hepatocellular injury but are highly concentrated in muscle cells. Consequently, muscular dystrophies such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, lead to hypertransaminasemia. Elevation in ALT and AST is most striking during the early stages of disease, before onset of or when only subtle signs of muscle disease are present. Thus, the incidental finding of elevated ALT/AST may be the presenting sign of muscle disease in many children and provides an opportunity for early diagnosis. Many physicians, however, pursue extensive workup for liver disease in children who present with the incidental finding of elevated ALT/AST. This results in delayed diagnosis and initiation of treatment and increased expense and may lead to unnecessary invasive procedures. We report 12 patients with muscle disease who presented with a variety of symptoms and were found to have an incidental finding of elevated ALT/AST. We propose a rapid screening process for evaluating children with the incidental finding of elevated ALT/AST to shorten the time to diagnosis of muscle disease."

duchenne:22718185 | Beneficial effect of ivabradine in dilated cardiomyopathy from Becker muscular dystrophy. | [
"The I(f) blocker ivabradine reduces heart rate and improves systolic function without causing arterial hypotension. Ivabradine has not been reported to improve cardiac involvement in Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD).",
"In a 22-year-old Vietnamese male with BMD, cardiac involvement became apparent at age 19 years with reduced systolic function, which was treated with ramipril. At the age of 20 years, he developed sinus tachycardia, leg edema, coughing, and arterial hypotension. Dilated cardiomyopathy was diagnosed and ramipril was successfully replaced by candesartan, ivabradine, and furosemide. An attempt to discontinue ivabradine and increase candesartan was followed by recurrence of sinus tachycardia and reduction of blood pressure. Under ivabradine, candesartan, and spironolactone, which replaced furosemide, he achieved heart rates between 60 and 80 beats/min and systolic blood pressure values between 85 and 105 mmHg without heart failure.",
"Ivabradine normalizes sinus tachycardia and resolves heart failure in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy from BMD. In addition to normalization of the heart rate and remodeling of the left ventricle, ivabradine seems to also have a positive inotropic effect in dilated cardiomyopathy of BMD patients."

duchenne:22702330 | Anaplastic medulloblastoma in a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"A 9-year-old boy with known Duchenne type muscular dystrophy (DMD) presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure. Radiological investigations revealed a lesion in the midline of the posterior fossa. Subtotal resection was performed. Pathology findings were consistent with the diagnosis of anaplastic medulloblastoma. The postoperative lumbar CSF was positive for malignant cells. Postoperatively, the patient showed severe neurological deterioration and lost his capacity to walk. He was treated with craniospinal radiation followed by nonintensive chemotherapy. At 30 months postsurgery, he was still in complete remission but had not recovered his walking ability. This is the second report of a malignant brain tumor in a boy with DMD. The possible link between the 2 conditions is discussed, as are ethical considerations regarding the management of medulloblastoma in children with DMD."

duchenne:22655515 | Rationale for treating oedema in Duchenne muscular dystrophy with eplerenone. | [
"Recently we reported a cytoplasmic sodium overload to cause a severe osmotic oedema in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Our results suggested that this dual overload of sodium ions and water precedes the dystrophic process and persists until fatty muscle degeneration is complete. The present paper addresses the questions as to whether these overloads are important for the pathogenesis of the disease, and if so, whether they can be treated. As a first step, we investigated the effects of various diuretic drugs on a cell model of DMD, i.e. rat diaphragm strips previously exposed to amphotericin B. We found that both carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and aldosterone antagonists were able to repolarise depolarised muscle fibres. Since carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are known to have acidifying effects and this might be detrimental to the ventilation of DMD patients, we mainly concentrated on the modern spironolactone derivative, eplerenone. This drug had a very high repolarizing power, the parameter considered by us as being most relevant for a beneficial effect. In a pilot study we administered this drug to a 22-yr-old female DMD patient who was bound to an electric wheelchair and has had no corticosteroid therapy before. Eplerenone decreased both cytoplasmic sodium and water overload and increased muscle strength and mobility. We conclude that eplerenone has beneficial effects on DMD muscle. In our opinion the cytoplasmic oedema is cytotoxic and should be treated before fatty degeneration takes place."

"The dystrophinopathies, duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy are common X-linked genetic myopathies resulting from mutations in the dystrophin gene. Duplication is an uncommon mechanism of mutation occurring in about 5% of DMD cases. The global prevalence of DMD is reported as 1/18,000 males. There is little clinical or epidemiological data on African patients.",
"To present the genotype-phenotype analysis of dystrophinopathy with an exon 8 through 9 duplication mutation in a patient of African/Ghanaian descent and his asymptomatic mother.",
"Investigations including a biopsy of the vastus lateralis muscle and genetic testing of the patient and his mother.",
"Genetic testing demonstrated a duplication of exons 8 through 9 of the dystrophin gene in both the patient and his mother. The muscle biopsy of the patient showed partial expression of the dystrophin protein. In the absence of a family history of dystrophinopathy, we hypothesize that this is a sporadic mutation occurring in the grand maternal lineage.",
"This case extends the world wide epidemiology of this disease to include the African/Ghanaian population and confirms the vulnerability of the dystrophin gene to recurrent spontaneous mutations at the exon 8 and 9 site."

"We present the case of a 48-year-old female carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with repeatedly documented levels of elevated troponin T without arguments for cardiac ischaemia. Elevated levels of troponin T are frequently reported in DMD patients and may function as a useful cardiac index to assess dystrophic degeneration of the myocardium in a subclinical stage. Cardiac troponins may help the clinician to diagnose myocardial damage in a very early stage of cardiac impairment independently from skeletal muscle degeneration."

duchenne:22624101 | Dexmedetomidine-ketamine sedation during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and egg allergy. | [
"Sedation during invasive procedures provides appropriate humanitarian care as well as facilitating the completion of procedure. Although generally safe and effective, adverse effects may occur especially in patients with co-morbid diseases. In many cases, given its rapid onset and offset, propofol is chosen to provide sedation during various invasive procedures. We present a nine-year-old, 45 kg child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who presented for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Given the egg allergy, which was a relative contraindication to the use of propofol, and the potential risk of malignant hyperthermia due to DMD, a combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine was used for procedural sedation. Dexmedetomidine was administered as a loading dose of 1 μg/kg along with a single bolus dose of ketamine (1 mg/kg). This was followed by a dexmedetomidine infusion at 0.5 μg/kg/hour. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was discharged to home. Previous reports regarding the use of dexmedetomidine and ketamine for procedural sedation are reviewed and the potential efficacy of this combination is discussed."

duchenne:22616200 | Deletion of exon 26 of the dystrophin gene is associated with a mild Becker muscular dystrophy phenotype. | [
"With the possible introduction of exon skipping therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, it has become increasingly important to know the role of each exon of the dystrophin gene to protein expression, and thus the phenotype. In this report, we present two related men with an unusually mild BMD associated with an exon 26 deletion. The proband, a 23-year-old man, had slightly delayed motor milestones, walking 1 1/2 years old. He had no complaints of muscle weakness, but had muscle pain. Clinical examination revealed no muscle wasting or loss of power, but his CK was 1500-7000 U/l. Muscle biopsy showed dystrophic changes. He had comorbidity with dystonia, slight mental retardation, low stature and neuropathy. The brother of the proband's mother came to medical attention when he was 43 years old. He complained about muscle pain. On examination, a MRC grade 4+ hip extention palsy and a discrete calf hypertrophy was noted. Creatine kinase was normal or raised maximally to 500 U/l. The muscle biopsy was myopathic with increased fiber size variation and many internal nuclei, but no dystrophy. No comorbidity was found. In both cases, western blot showed a reduced dystrophin band. Genetic evaluation revealed a deletion of exon 26 of the dystrophin gene in both. This is the first description of patients with a exon 26 deletion of the dystrophin gene. Assuming the proband's comorbidity is unrelated, exon 26 deletion results in a very mild phenotype. This might be of interest in planning exon skipping therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This report also shows that BMD may present with a normal CK."

"Corticosteroid treatment is the standard of care in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but the optimal age to initiate treatment and dosage pattern remain a matter of discussion.",
"We performed a long-term study of alternate-day corticosteroids in five 2- to 4-year-old DMD patients. The primary outcome measure was prolongation of the ability to walk.",
"One patient lost ambulation at age 10. Four patients, aged 16 to 18 were fully ambulant, and 3 of them could still climb stairs. Respiratory function was moderately reduced in 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction was > 45%. Short stature and delayed puberty were the most relevant side effects. Although the negative impact of corticosteroid treatment on growth rate remained their major concern, parents and patients stated that they preferred corticosteroid therapy.",
"Long-term corticosteroid treatment is effective in prolonging function but not in recovering lost function, and its early use seems appropriate."

"X-linked recessive diseases affect males, whereas female carriers are generally asymptomatic.We report on a 4-year-old girl who presented with a classical phenotype of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a severe X-linked recessive type of muscular dystrophy affecting boys in early childhood.A thorough diagnostic work-up revealed that this resulted from a heterozygous out-of frame deletion in the DMD-gene in combination with an X-inactivation ratio of <10:90 in blood leukocytes and muscle.The case exemplifies that a skewed X-inactivation pattern has to be taken into account as mechanism causing clinical symptoms in female carriers of X-linked recessive disorders."

duchenne:22453924 | Novel mutation in spectrin-like repeat 1 of dystrophin central domain causes protein misfolding and mild Becker muscular dystrophy. | [
"Mutations in the dystrophin gene without disruption of the reading frame often lead to Becker muscular dystrophy, but a genotype/phenotype correlation is difficult to establish. Amino acid substitutions may disrupt binding capacities of dystrophin and have a major impact on the functionality of this protein. We have identified two brothers (ages 8 and 10 years) with very mild proximal weakness, recurrent abdominal pain, and moderately elevated serum creatine kinase levels. Gene sequencing revealed a novel mutation in exon 11 of the dystrophin gene (c.1280T>C) leading to a L427P amino acid substitution in repeat 1 of the central rod domain. Immunostaining of skeletal muscle showed weak staining of the dystrophin region encoded by exons 7 and 8 corresponding to the end of the actin-binding domain 1 and the N-terminal part of hinge 1. Spectrofluorescence and circular dichroism analysis of the domain repeat 1-2 (R1-2) revealed partial misfolding of the L427P mutated protein as well as a reduced refolding rate after denaturation. Based on computational homology models of the wild-type and mutated R1-2, a molecular dynamics study showed an alteration in the flexibility of the structure, which also strongly affects the conformational space available in the N-terminal region of the fragment. Our results suggest that this missense mutation hinders the dynamic properties of the entire N-terminal region of dystrophin."

"Dystrophin (DMD) gene is the largest gene containing 79 exons involving various mutation types and regions, and targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) was employed in detecting DMD gene mutation in the present study. A literature-annotated disease nonsense mutation (c.10141C>T, NM_004006.1) in exon 70 that has been reported as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)-causing mutation was found in our two patients, the proband and his cousin. In the present study two main methods were used, the next-generation sequencing and the classic Sanger sequencing. The exon capture followed by HiSeq2000 sequencing was specifically used in this study. Combined applications of the next-generation sequencing platform and bioinformatics are proved to be effective methods for DMD diagnosis."

duchenne:22398907 | [Recurrent gastric volvulus resolved surgically after therapeutic percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy]. | [
"A 20-year-old man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with recurrent gastric volvulus underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Four months later, he developed vomiting and consciousness disturbance. CT revealed gastric volvulus recurrence along the gastrostomy axis. Endoscopic repositioning failed and fistula perforation necessitated emergency surgery. The upper position of the stomach was twisted counter-clockwise and revolved on the gastrostomy axis sliding between the lower stomach and abdominal wall. The fistula showed necrotic perforation and was thus resected. The anterior stomach wall was fixed to the abdominal wall at 3 triangular points. Thereafter, gastric volvulus did not recur. PEG is reportedly effective for preventing gastric volvulus, but there are rare cases of postgastrostomy recurrence. This successfully managed case provides valuable clinical insights."

duchenne:22354404 | [Legal liability problems in outpatient operations. View from an anesthesiological perspective]. | [
"The rapid technical and medical progress in endoscopic and laparoscopic interventions and the increasing acceptance by patients, lead to an expansion of outpatient operations. The endoscopic laparoscopic operation technique, the operative implementation and the inclusion of an accompanying and a surveillance person in the postoperative phase conceal, however, specific dangers which the physician must recognize and remove. It is absolutely necessary that anesthetists pay attention to some basic principles concerning protection and safety of patients, considerations on the comfort of patients, quality measures and the resulting practical consequences. Particularly prone to liability problems are the postoperative phase and discharge of patients which will be demonstrated in some exemplary cases."

duchenne:22332132 | Unusual respiratory manifestations in two young adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Adult respirologists are often involved in the evaluation and treatment of young adult patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this context, the most frequent respiratory complication is nocturnal and daytime hypoventilation related to respiratory muscle weakness. The present article describes cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy involving two brothers, 17 and 19 years of age, respectively, who presented with less frequently reported respiratory complications of their disease: obstructive sleep apnea and Cheyne-Stokes respiration with central apnea, which were believed to be partially or completely related to congestive cardiomyopathy."

duchenne:22308874 | A neonate with contiguous deletion syndrome in XP21. | [
"We report a case of a male infant with the association of pseudohypertriglyceridemia, hypoadrenalism (hyponatremia, hyperpotasemia, dehydration), high creatine phosphokinase level (possible Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, DMD) and diagnosed contiguous gene deletion syndrome in Xp21.",
"A 1-month-old male term infant was referred due to no weight gain. The examination revealed dehydration (decreased skin turgor), scrotal hyperpigmentation and hypotonia. Laboratory findings showed hyponatremia of 124 mmol/L, hyperpotasemia of 6.9 mg/dL, high creatine phosphokinase level of 7019 IU/L, and high blood triglyceride level of 1244 mg/dL. There was no deletion detected in the dystrophin gene with the study investigating selected exons, no dystrophin staining and nonspecific atrophic findings in the muscle biopsy. Further laboratory findings defined high glycerol concentrations both in blood and in urine that were compatible with a glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD). Array CGH study confirmed the existence of a deletion in Xp21 of the genes responsible for DMD, GKD and the congenital adrenal hypoplasia (gene DAX1 or NROB1 gene: Xp21.3-21.2). The infant showed good response to mineralocorticoid therapy, hyponatremia resolved and gained weight.",
"Physicians should consider contiguous gene deletion syndrome in Xp21 in the infants with myopathic compromise, increased levels of creatine phosphokinase and pseudohypertriglyceridaemia to be able to prevent and treat the metabolic complications. Furthermore, geneticists should take into account to design routine deletion studies including the promoter region in this disorder."

duchenne:22303798 | The first case of primary alpha-sarcoglycanopathy identified in Albania, in two siblings with homozygous alpha-sarcoglycan mutation. | [
"Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D (LGMD2D) is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the alpha-sarcoglycan gene. The clinical, biochemical, histological, imunohistochemical and molecular genetic data in 2 Albanian siblings with LGMD2D (adhalinopathy or alpha-sarcoglycanopathy) are presented and the resemblance with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is discussed. Both siblings had very high level of CK and a negative molecular test for DMD deletions and duplications. The muscle biopsy showed dystrophic features as well as deficiency in two different proteins, the Gamma sarcoglycan protein (-SG) and the Alpha -SG protein (-SG). DNA analysis demonstrated homozygosity for a pathogenic point mutation (574C>T) in the alpha-sarcoglycan gene, confirming the diagnosis of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D. We believe it is the first confirmed case of primary alpha-sarcoglycanopathy identified in Albania which support the assumption of a wide geographic prevalence of severe childhood onset of autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, We show that muscle biopsy and DNA diagnosis remains the most sensitive and specific method for differential diagnosis."

"Becker muscular dystrophy affects mainly the musculoskeletal system, causing muscle wasting and progressive weakness. A 61-year-old woman with breast cancer, who had been diagnosed with Becker muscular dystrophy 45 years earlier, was scheduled for right mastectomy. We induced general anesthesia with propofol, fentanyl, and a nondepolarizing muscle blocker (rocuronium). Neuromuscular function was monitored continuously by acceleromyographic train-of-four ratio (TOFr) (Watch-SX monitor). The block was reversed with sugammadex. After preoxygenation with fentanyl and propofol, the device was calibrated and the baseline TOFr was recorded. We injected 1 mg/kg of rocuronium and assessed TOF responses every 15 seconds. The maximum decrease in TOF response (to 0 twitches) was at 52 seconds. Tracheal intubation was uneventful. Anesthesia was maintained by intravenous infusion. The operation lasted 74 minutes. The second TOF twitch (T2) reappeared 86 minutes after the initial dose. After we injected 2 mg/kg of sugammadex, a TOFr of 0.7 was reached at 79 seconds; a TOFr of 0.9 was reached at 108 seconds and a TOFr of 1.0 at 152 seconds. No electrocardiographic or hemodynamic abnormalities occurred during sugammadex administration and there were no signs of residual neuromuscular blockade on awakening or adverse events in the following 24 hours."

"Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) integrates dystrophy occurring due to genetic mutations that express the dystrophin protein in chromosome X. The onset of neuromuscular symptoms usually precedes the impairment of cardiac function, and may conversely happen by heart failure (HF). Physical training is well established in HF, however, when combined with BMD, it is controversial and without any scientific basis. This study presents the case of a patient with BMD associated with HF in cardiac transplant waiting list undergoing a physical training program."

duchenne:22211728 | Case presentation: abdominal compartment syndrome complicating posterior spinal fusion. | [
"Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening entity that requires rapid recognition and treatment. This case report represents the first case report of ACS associated with the correction of a marked scoliosis. Of the many possible causes for respiratory compromise and cardiovascular collapse associated with major spine surgery, ACS should be considered, particularly in instances of profound spinal curvature correction. We present the case of an 8-year-old child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) undergoing correction of a severe scoliotic curvature. Near the end of an otherwise unremarkable surgery, he developed severe respiratory compromise associated with respiratory acidosis, hypoxia, and hypotension in the face of a catastrophic decrease in lung compliance. After supine positioning and examination, he was discovered to have ACS, which was treated with laparotomy. Complete recovery occurred after 5 days. This case report should raise awareness of a rare, life threatening, but imminently treatable entity that can accompany scoliosis surgery. The description of this case should be particularly important for pediatric anesthesiologists and orthopedic surgeons who care for patients undergoing correction of marked scoliosis. We suggest possible mechanisms for the development of ACS in this setting that offer insights into the pathology of this entity, which could be useful in many other clinical situations where visceral venous drainage or bowel perfusion may be compromised."

duchenne:22115006 | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked, recessively inherited disorder characterized by progressive weakness attributable to the absence of dystrophin expression in muscle. In multiple studies, the chronic administration of corticosteroids slowed the loss of ambulation that develops in mid to late childhood. Corticosteroids, however, frequently produce unacceptable side effects, including Cushingoid appearance and weight gain. Deflazacort, an oxazoline analogue of prednisolone, produces equivalent benefits on muscle with fewer reported Cushingoid side effects. We present a 9-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who developed morbid obesity and subsequent idiopathic intracranial hypertension after 2 years of receiving deflazacort. Although deflazacort is typically thought to produce less obesity than prednisone, severe Cushingoid side effects may occur in some individuals. To our knowledge, this description is the first of idiopathic intracranial hypertension complicating chronic corticosteroid treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy."

duchenne:22095564 | Pathogenic orphan transduction created by a nonreference LINE-1 retrotransposon. | [
"Long INterspersed Element-1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons comprise 17% of the human genome, and move by a potentially mutagenic \"copy and paste\" mechanism via an RNA intermediate. Recently, the retrotransposition-mediated insertion of a new transcript was described as a novel cause of genetic disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, in a Japanese male. The inserted sequence was presumed to derive from a single-copy, noncoding RNA transcribed from chromosome 11q22.3 that retrotransposed into the dystrophin gene. Here, we demonstrate that a nonreference full-length LINE-1 is situated in the proband and maternal genome at chromosome 11q22.3, directly upstream of the sequence, whose copy was inserted into the dystrophin gene. This LINE-1 is highly active in a cell culture assay. LINE-1 insertions are often associated with 3' transduction of adjacent genomic sequences. Thus, the likely explanation for the mutagenic insertion is a LINE-1-mediated 3' transduction with severe 5' truncation. This is the first example of LINE-1-induced human disease caused by an \"orphan\" 3' transduction."

duchenne:22052614 | Childhood onset of left ventricular dysfunction in a female manifesting carrier of muscular dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy are X-linked disorders that result from a mutation in the dystrophin gene that reduces the production or effectiveness of the protein dystrophin. These disorders are clinically characterized by progressive muscle degeneration. Manifesting female carriers are generally not identified as such until after puberty, when symptoms such as muscle weakness may arise. This clinical report describes a female manifesting carrier who started to show deterioration of left ventricular systolic function, but no marked skeletal muscle weakness, at the age of 10 years. The patient's cardiac function improved significantly after dual drug therapy with an ACE inhibitor (enalapril) and a beta-blocker (carvedilol). Our case adds to the existing evidence that left ventricular myocardial dysfunction may occur during childhood in female carriers of dystrophinopathies."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a hereditary disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and contracture, and special care during anesthesia is needed in these patients. Because inhalational anesthetics and succinylcholine can cause fatal results, intravenous anesthetics are commonly used. However, monitorings for the pediatric population are not otherwise specified. We report our experience of a 6 year-old boy that underwent muscle biopsy suspicious of muscle dystrophy under general anesthesia. The patient received midazolam, fentanyl, propofol and a small dose of rocuronium. He was monitored with bispectral index (BIS), acceleromyography (TOF). At the end of surgery, recovery of TOF ratio to 90% was evaluated, followed by injection of pyridostigmine and glycopyrrolate.

duchenne:21861423 | [Anesthetic management of a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy]. | [
"We experienced anesthetic management of a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy. He had advanced dilated cardiomyopathy and high serum CK in the preoperative examinations. Anesthesia was planned to avoid triggering malignant hyperthermia or rhabdomyolysis and hemodynamic changes. Propofol, remifentanil and a minimum dose of rocuronium bromide were used for anesthetic induction and maintainance. Arterial pressure, cardiac output and stroke volume variation were monitored by Flotrac sensor. There were no adverse events observed during the anesthetic management. In conclusion, total intravenous anesthesia with the administration of rocuronium and circulatory monitoring by Flotrac sensor could be safe and efficient for anesthetic management of patients with Becker muscular dystrophy."

"Sedation during invasive procedures not only provides appropriate humanitarian care for patients, but also facilitates the completion of invasive procedures. Although generally safe and effective, adverse effects may occur especially in patients with co-morbid diseases. We present the successful use of a combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine to provide sedation and analgesia in a 21-year-old patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) undergoing bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. Co-morbidities included both depressed myocardial function and impaired respiratory function. Dexmedetomidine was administered as a loading dose of 1 μg/kg over 5 min followed by an infusion of 1 μg/kg/h. Ketamine (20 mg) was administered along with the dexmedetomidine loading dose. An additional 10 mg of ketamine was administered to treat the pain experienced during the placement of the local anesthetic agent prior to the procedure. No clinically significant hemodynamic or respiratory changes were noted. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was discharged home. A review of previously published reports of dexmedetomidine and ketamine for procedural sedation are reviewed."

duchenne:21795275 | A case of fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy misdiagnosed as Becker's muscular dystrophy for 20 years. | [
"A 60-year-old man diagnosed clinically with Becker's muscular dystrophy 20 years ago by another physician presented with gradually progressive proximal muscle weakness since teenage years. Family history revealed a strong paternal familial inheritance pattern of similar distribution of weakness-face, forearm flexion, knee extension and foot dorsiflexion. Work-ups revealed B12 deficiency and allele 1 deletion in fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) DNA testing. FSHD is the third most common muscular dystrophy. Clinical diagnosis is made from the distinctive pattern of weakness, autosomal-dominant inheritance, and confirmed by genetic testing. This case strongly demonstrates the importance of a thorough and careful clinical evaluation even in a case with a long standing diagnosis."

duchenne:21784636 | Combination of steroids and ischial weight-bearing knee ankle foot orthoses in Duchenne's muscular dystrophy prolongs ambulation past 20 years of age--a case report. | [
"Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) lose ambulation by age 12. Long-term steroids have lengthened ambulation by 2-5 years. Ischial weight-bearing knee ankle foot orthoses prolong ambulation for 2-3 years. We report the outcome of the ambulatory status of a patient with DMD treated with daily steroid therapy and orthoses. This male patient was diagnosed with DMD at age of 2. He has been treated with daily steroids since age 7 years. He lost the ability to arise from the floor and walk up steps at age 14 and lost ambulation by age 16. He was fitted with orthoses at age 16 following surgical correction of his lower extremity contractures and regained independent ambulation. At age 20, he was able to stand independently in his orthoses and take steps with moderate support. We conclude that a combination of daily steroids and orthoses prolongs ambulation beyond that of the natural history DMD."

"A Thai 37-years-old man presented with adult onset progressive proximal muscle weakness and generalized myalgia. Family history showed similar symptoms in several male relatives, compatible with X-linked recessive inheritance. Electromyography suggested myopathic process. Serum creatine kinase was highly elevated. Diagnosis of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) was confirmed by genetic testing. His symptoms responded well to steroid treatment. This report is of the first Thai patient with atypical presentation of BMD."

duchenne:25885395 | Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl combination for procedural sedation in a case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy, an X-linked disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness, is the most common muscular dystrophy among children leading to death before the end of third decade. Anesthesia in such patients pose a great challenge due to various complications associated with it. The dreaded metabolic and clinical complications occur due to various inhalational anesthetics and succinylcholine in this subset of patients. We are reporting a child with diagnosed Duchenne muscular dystrophy who underwent excision of dentigerous cyst in oral cavity under procedural sedation with combination of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl and thus administration of general anesthesia was avoided."

"Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are two rare congenital anomalies. Both anomalies occurring in the same child is extremely rare. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a well-established therapy for Diamond-Blackfan anemia. However, in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, stem cell therapy still remains experimental.",
"We report the case of a nine-year-old boy of north Indian descent with Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy who underwent successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. He is transfusion-independent, and his Duchenne muscular dystrophy has shown no clinical deterioration over the past 45 months. His creatine phosphokinase levels have significantly decreased to 300 U/L from 14,000 U/L pre-transplant. The patient is 100% donor chimera in the hematopoietic system, and his muscle tissue has shown 8% to 10.4% cells of donor origin.",
"Our patient's Diamond-Blackfan anemia was cured by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The interesting clinical observation of a possible benefit in Duchenne muscular dystrophy cannot be ruled out. However, further clinical follow-up with serial muscle biopsies and molecular studies are needed to establish this finding."

"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genomic disorder characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness due to the absence or abnormal function of dystrophin; a protein that protects muscle cells from mechanical induced stress during contraction. Mutations in the DMD gene, may lead to different clinical phenotypes, collectively known as dystrophinopathies, of which DMD has the earliest onset and most severe progression.",
"We report a novel deletion of exons 24-41, predicted to maintain the reading frame and expected to result in a mild phenotype. Conversely, the patient has a severe DMD phenotype.",
"Our report supports the hypothesis that disruption of the gamma-actin-binding site located in the central rod domain plays a crucial role in the shock absorber function of dystrophin in muscle cells.

"We report a case of thoracoscopic pulmonary resection for pneumothorax in a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy The sensitivity of nondepolarizing muscle relaxant in a patient with muscle dystrophy is reportedly higher than in a patient without muscle disease, and the duration of the effect is known to be prolonged. In a 26-year-old man (height 160 cm, weight 39 kg) with Becker muscular dystrophy, general anesthesia was induced with target controlled infusion of propofol (3.0 microg x ml(-1)) and 0.4 microg x kg(-1) of min(-1) of remifentanil. A small amount of rocuronium was also administered additionally until TOF ratio reached to 0%. Total amount of rocuronium was 20 mg (0.5 mg x kg(-1)) for intubation with a double-lumen tracheal tube. The duration of surgery was 68 min. We confirmed 84% recovery of TOF ratio 90 min after injection of rocuronium, and extubated the patient without reversal of rocuronium. We found that the maximum concentration in the plasma or effective site (Cp/Ce) of rocuronium was reached at the time of intubation."

"In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), identification of one nonsense mutation in the DMD gene has been considered an endpoint of genetic diagnosis. Here, we identified two closely spaced nonsense mutations in the DMD gene. In a Malaysian DMD patient two nonsense mutations (p.234S>X and p.249Q>X, respectively) were identified within exon 8.

duchenne:21485682 | The use of rocuronium in a patient with cystic fibrosis and end-stage lung disease made safe by sugammadex reversal. | [
"While the pharmacology of sugammadex has been extensively reviewed, there is limited literature regarding its use in specific clinical settings. Several case reports describe its use in patients with the potential for postoperative respiratory dysfunction; in the settings of myasthenia gravis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and myotonic dystrophy. We describe the use of sugammadex in a patient with severe bronchiectasis related to cystic fibrosis who required neuromuscular block for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion. The use of rocuronium for neuromuscular block was preferred in order to avoid the potential complications associated with the use of suxamethonium. However we wished to ensure complete neuromuscular block reversal for this short duration procedure in this high-risk patient and also to avoid the side-effects of traditional reversal agents. We therefore planned in advance to use sugammadex for neuromuscular block reversal, and this approach proved successful. Overall, the combination of rocuronium and sugammadex improved perioperative surgical and anaesthetic management in this patient."

duchenne:21468271 | Carrier woman of Duchenne muscular dystrophy mimicking inflammatory myositis. | [
"Carrier woman of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can mimic the inflammatory myositis in presenting symptoms. Two diseases should be differentiated by the clinical history, muscle biopsy and genetic study. There are few reports in which both histochemical and genetic study showed the possible link of overlapping inflammatory pathophysiology with dystrophinopathy. We report a 40-yr-old woman who presented with subacute proximal muscle weakness and high serum level of creatine kinase. She had a history of Graves' disease and fluctuation of serum liver aminotransferase without definite cause. MRI, EMG and NCV were compatible with proximal muscle myopathy. Muscle biopsy on vastus lateralis showed suspicious perifascicular atrophy and infiltration of mono-macrophage lineage cells complicating the diagnosis. Dystrophin staining showed heterogeneous diverse findings from normal to interrupted mosaic pattern. Multiple ligation probe amplification and X chromosome inactivation test confirmed DMD gene deletion mutation in exon 44 and highly skewed X inactivation."

duchenne:21413493 | Lesson of the month (1). Myotonic dystrophy and out-of-hospital arrest. | [
"Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is an autosomal dominant disorder which affects both smooth and skeletal muscles. The incidence is approximately 1 in 8,000 births. It is the most common muscular dystrophy to manifest in adulthood, and the second most common skeletal muscle disorder after Duchenne MD. Cardiac rhythm disturbances are a common cause of death in these patients. This lesson describes a case in which a previously undiagnosed case of MD presented with an episode of ventricular fibrillation."

duchenne:21305657 | Pure intronic rearrangements leading to aberrant pseudoexon inclusion in dystrophinopathy: a new class of mutations? | [
"We report on two unprecedented cases of pseudoexon (PE) activation in the DMD gene resulting from pure intronic double-deletion events that possibly involve microhomology-mediated mechanisms. Array comparative genomic hybridization analysis and direct genomic sequencing allowed us to elucidate the causes of the pathological PE inclusion detected in the RNA of the patients. In the first case (Duchenne phenotype), we showed that the inserted 387-bp PE was originated from an inverted ∼57 kb genomic region of intron 44 flanked by two deleted ∼52 kb and ∼1 kb segments. In the second case (Becker phenotype), we identified in intron 56 two small deletions of 592 bp (del 1) and 29 bp (del 2) directly flanking a 166-bp PE located in very close proximity (134 bp) to exon 57. The key role of del 1 in PE activation was established by using splicing reporter minigenes. However, the analysis of mutant constructs failed to identify cis elements that regulate the inclusion of the PE and suggested that other splicing regulatory factors may be involved such as RNA structure. Our study introduces a new class of mutations in the DMD gene and emphasizes the potential role of underdetected intronic rearrangements in human diseases."

"So far, a beneficial effect of combined angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and β-blocker therapy for systolic dysfunction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has been reported only in patients in whom DMD was due to deletions in the dystrophin gene.",
"In a 24-year-old male with DMD due to the point mutation c.4213C>T (p.Gln1405X) in exon 30 of the dystrophin gene, cardiologic examination at the age of 23 years revealed asymptomatic severely reduced systolic dysfunction with a fractional shortening of 14% in the absence of dilated cardiomyopathy. A combined therapy with enalapril (2.5 mg/day) and bisoprolol (1.25 mg/day) was initiated. After a slow increase in the dosage to 10 mg enalapril/day and 2.5 mg bisoprolol/day, systolic dysfunction resolved to a fractional shortening of 26% already after 7 months.",

duchenne:21155054 | Three cases of manifesting female carriers in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy usually affects males. However, females are also affected in rare instances. Approximately 8% of female Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) carriers are manifesting carriers and have muscle weakness to some extent. We investigated the clinical features of 3 female patients with dystrophinopathy diagnosed by clinical, pathological, and genetic studies at our neuromuscular disease clinic. The onset age of manifesting symptoms varied (8-28 years). Muscle weakness grade varied as follows: patient 1 showed asymmetrical bilateral proximal upper and lower extremities weakness, patient 2 showed asymmetrical bilateral upper extremities weakness similar to scapulohumoral muscular dystrophy, and patient 3 had only bilateral asymmetric proximal lower extremities weakness. Two patients had familial histories of DMD (their sons were diagnosed with DMD), but the 1 remaining patient had no familial history of DMD. The serum creatine kinase level was elevated in all patients, but it was not correlated with muscular weakness. An electromyography study showed findings of myopathy in all patients. One patient was diagnosed with a DMD carrier by a muscle biopsy with an immunohistochemical stain (dystrophin). The remaining 2 patients with familial history of DMD were diagnosed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). There were inconsistent clinical features in the female carriers. An immunohistochemical analysis of dystrophin could be useful for female carrier patients. Also, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification is essential for the diagnosis of a manifesting female carrier DMD in female myopathic patients because conventional multiplex PCR could not detect the duplication and is less accurate compared to MLPA."

duchenne:21150251 | Targeting parents for the treatment of pediatric obesity in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a case series. | [
"Obesity is a major public health concern in children. Obesity occurs frequently in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), complicating treatment and impairing functioning. Parent-focused interventions to facilitate weight loss have been successful in other pediatric samples but have not been studied with this population. The current investigation examined the feasibility and potential efficacy of parent-focused treatment to improve healthy eating and physical activity of parents and eating and weight in their sons with DMD. Three families participated in this case series. Resulting changes in body weight among boys with DMD were an outcome variable. Findings indicate inconsistent changes in boys' weight, decreases in parent weight, increases in healthy foods available in the home, and increases in children's perceived quality of life. Participant ratings of treatment suitability and satisfaction were generally favorable.

duchenne:21140720 | Opportunities for people with disabilities in the virtual world of Second Life. | [
"The virtual world of Second Life (SL) offers people with disabilities a chance to explore new worlds without being limited by their disabilities. Many people with disabilities use SL for information, support, and entertainment. SL is a computer-based simulated environment in which participants are represented by a human-like avatar. The avatar can move through the environment, manipulate objects, and participate in day-to-day activities that most people take for granted, such as walking, dancing, and communicating. In this article, the authors focus on the benefits that information, socialization, and community membership can offer people with disabilities and some of the resources that are available for them in SL. SL communities, groups, and activities also help increase self-worth and empower people with disabilities. Participating in a virtual world enriches the overall quality of life of people with disabilities and may enhance their physical, emotional, and social adjustment."

duchenne:21134752 | Duchenne muscular dystrophy caused by a complex rearrangement between intron 43 of the DMD gene and chromosome 4. | [
"Deletions/duplications of exons in the DMD gene cause about 70% of all cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Most remaining mutations are point mutations or small insertion-deletions located mainly in the coding but also in deep intronic regions of the DMD gene. We describe a novel complex rearrangement in a patient affected with DMD that was undetectable using standard molecular diagnostic methods. Analysis of the proband's mRNA from a muscle biopsy revealed the insertion of an 80 bp cryptic exon from chromosome 4 between exons 43 and 44 of the dystrophin gene. Array comparative genomic hybridization and breakpoint junction sequence analysis indicated this cryptic exon originated from a complex genomic 90 kb insertion of non-coding chromosome 4 into intron 43 of the dystrophin gene. This rearrangement was also detectable in the patient's mother. The genomic characterization of this novel complex mutation was essential for accurate carrier and genetic counseling of this family and emphasizes the need for comprehensive molecular diagnosis of patients with clinical signs of DMD and clear pathological changes."

duchenne:21067698 | High frequency chest wall oscillation plus mechanical in-exsufflation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy with respiratory complications related to pandemic Influenza A/H1N1. | [
"Two young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, who had contracted 2009 pandemic influenza A/H1N1 (pH1N1), had been treated with antibiotics and steroids without significant improvement. One of them showed severe scoliosis. After hospitalization chest CT scan revealed extensive pulmonary bilateral segmental atelectasis. Their clinical and radiological findings rapidly improved when a sequential respiratory physiotherapy protocol was adopted that consisted of the application of multiple sessions of high-frequency chest wall oscillations, each one followed by mechanically assisted coughing manoeuvres. The protocol was well tolerated, effective, easy to apply and special positioning was not required. Fifteen days after treatment initiation both patients clinically recovered. This treatment can be very helpful for neuromuscular patients, particularly when scoliosis prevents conventional respiratory physiotherapy."

duchenne:20944443 | Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a female patient with a karyotype of 46,X,i(X)(q10). | [
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe recessive X-linked form of muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene and it affects males predominantly. Here we report a 4-year-old girl with DMD from a healthy family, in which her parents and sister have no DMD genotype. A PCR-based method of multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis showed the deletion of exons 46 and 47 in the dystrophin gene, which led to loss of dystrophin function. No obvious phenotype of Turner syndrome was observed in this patient and cytogenetic analysis revealed that her karyotype is 46,X,i(X)(q10). In conclusion, we describe the first female patient with DMD who carries a de novo mutation of the dystrophin gene in one chromosome and isochromosome Xq, i(Xq), in another chromosome."

"Proximal muscle weakness is a common association of muscular dystrophies. Knees and hip extensor weakness limit the patients' ability to counteract flexor knee joints' moments. Therefore, patients try to toe walk to move the ground reaction force (GRF) anteriorly to help to stabilise the knee. We report a case of a patient with Becker's muscular dystrophy who lost his ability to walk completely following a bilateral Achilles tendons operation. The patient's ability to heel-strike moved his GRF posteriorly resulting in creation of excessive knees flexion moments. Three years following the operation and following a lengthy rehabilitation programme, the patient managed to mobilise using an orthosis."

"Non-autonomous retrotransposon-mediated mobilizations of the Alu family are known pathogenic mechanisms of human disease. Here, we report a pathogenic, contemporary, non-autonomous retrotransmobilization of part of a novel non-coding gene into the dystrophin gene. In a Japanese Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient, a 330-bp-long de novo insertion was identified in exon 67 of dystrophin. The insertion induced exon 67-skipping in the dystrophin mRNA, creating a premature stop codon. The sequence of the insertion had certain characteristics of retrotransposons: an antisense polyadenylation signal accompanied by a poly(T) sequence and a target site duplication. The insertion site matched the consensus recognition sequence for the L1 endonuclease, indicating a retrotransposon-mediated event, although the inserted sequence did not match any known retrotransposons. The origin of the inserted sequence was mapped to a gene-poor region of chromosome 11. The inserted fragment was expressed in multiple human tissue RNAs, indicating that it is a novel transcript. The full length of the transcript was cloned and showed no meaningful protein coding ability."

"The death of a child is an uncommon occurrence and can be difficult for families to accept. Attempts by the healthcare team to discuss end-of-life issues can be so upsetting to families that they refuse to participate in the discussion. Even with diseases where an early death can be anticipated, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the family is often reluctant to discuss end-of-life issues when the patient is relatively healthy, preferring to focus on the current health issues.

duchenne:20683981 | Unexpected detection of dystrophin gene deletions by array comparative genomic hybridization. | [
"Array comparative genomic hybridization has increasingly become the standard of care to evaluate patients for genomic imbalance. As the patient population evaluated by microarray expands, there is certain to be an increase in the detection of unexpected, yet common diseases. When array results predict a late-onset disorder or cancer predisposition, it becomes a challenge for physicians and counselors to adequately address with patients. Included in this study were three patients described with nonspecific phenotypic findings who underwent microarray testing to better define their disease etiology. An unexpected deletion within the dystrophin gene was observed in each case, despite that no patient was suspected of a dystrophinopathy at the time of testing. The patients included an 8-day-old male with a dystrophin deletion predictive of Becker muscular dystrophy, an 18-month old female found to be the carrier of deletion, and a 4-year-8-month-old male with a deletion predictive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this circumstance it becomes difficult to counsel the family, as well as to predict disease course when underlying medical conditions may exist. However, early detection may enable the patient to receive proactive treatment, and allows for screening of at-risk family members. Ultimately, it is up to the clinician to promote informed decision-making within the family prior to testing, and ensure that adequate counseling is provided during follow-up."
