[ "Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal X-linked recessive disorder with an incidence of approximately 1 in 3500 males, caused by mutation in the DMD gene. About 2/3 of DMD cases are caused by gross DMD gene deletion mutations. The purpose of this study was to develop a series of single-cell multiplex-nested PCR protocols for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of the most prevalent DMD deletions.", "The protocols were developed on single blood leukocytes from normal males and females and patients with known DMD gene deletion. In the first reaction, 2 of 11 different primer sets (exons 4, 8, 12, 13, 17, 46, 47, 49, 50, 52 and intron 52) were used to allow the simultaneous amplification of different DMD loci and the SRY gender marker, in a single triplex-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Aliquots of this reaction were then subjected to nested PCR in which each locus was amplified individually. Following the successful establishment of single-cell triplex-nested PCR in single leukocytes, the technique was employed in five clinical PGD cases.", "For each DMD locus, more than 50 single leukocytes from healthy controls and more than 100 single leukocytes from affected individuals with known deletions were analyzed. Amplification efficiency for each tested locus was 98-100%. The false-negative rates for each analysis taken separately was <1%. Taken together, however, the results of the triplex-nested PCR analysis had a false-negative rate of 0%. No contamination was detected in all wash-drop blanks tested. We subsequently performed 18 PGD cycles in 5 DMD carriers. A total of 156 embryos were biopsied and successfully analyzed. Of these, 39 affected embryos were detected and 50 unaffected embryos were transferred (mean = 2.9 +/- 1.1 embryos per cycle). These resulted in three biochemical pregnancies and three clinical pregnancies, all of which have culminated in the birth of normal offspring.", "Triplex-nested PCR using 2 of 11 DMD loci and the SRY gender marker allow PGD for >90% of DMD families with known deletions. These protocols are associated with a high amplification efficiency and accuracy." ]

[ "Becker's muscular dystrophy (BMD) is associated with abnormal cardiac findings in 75% of cases; up to one third will develop ventricular dilatation leading to congestive heart failure, at times necessitating cardiac transplant. Candidates are selected from a base of heart failure patients who are usually New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV. Treatment in a phase II cardiac rehabilitation program after transplantation is associated with functional improvement in patients without BMD, but there are no reports of patients with this disorder. We present the case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with BMD with associated dilated cardiomyopathy. The patient was a NYHA class IIIa and underwent orthotopic cardiac transplantation for intractable heart failure followed by treatment in a phase II cardiac rehabilitation program. At the end of cardiac rehabilitation, his 12-minute walking distance had improved from 716.28 to 929.64 m (30% improvement), he had increased his conditioning metabolic equivalent level from 3.5 to 5.5 (55% improvement), he had a weight loss from 81.65 to 78.93 kg, and his body mass index changed from 23 to 22 kg/m2. The patient now has returned to work, is using a stationary bicycle once a day for 30 minutes, and is walking 1 hour a day. This suggests that treatment in a cardiac rehabilitation program is effective in patients with BMD after cardiac transplant." ]

The patient needed continuous noninvasive ventilation (NIV) consisting of a volumetric ventilator with a nighttime nasal mask and a daytime mouthpiece. He also required application of manually assisted coughing techniques by insufflation with a resuscitation bag and chest thrust (manually assisted PCF after maximum insufflation capacity of 4.33 L/s). An episode of serious food aspiration was resolved by his main caregiver through NIV and manually assisted coughing. Bronchoscopy under sedation using NIV with a lip seal connection to his volumetric ventilator later revealed that no material remained. This case exemplifies the potential role of skilled respiratory management in some neuromuscular diseases." ]

[ "The dystrophin gene, which is mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), is the largest known human gene and is characterized by the huge size of its introns. Intron 2, the second largest intron, is 170-kb long and has been shown to include a 140-bp cryptic exon (exon 2a) in its 5' region. The rest of this intron has no known function. In this study, we find that another cryptic exon, located in the 3' region of intron 2, is activated in a promoter- or tissue-specific manner. An unknown 98-bp insertion precisely between exons 2 and 3 was identified in one of the dystrophin mRNAs from lymphocytes of a DMD patient with a duplication of exon 2. This 98-bp sequence, located in the 3' region of intron 2, was found to possess a branch point, acceptor and donor splice-site consensus sequences, and an exonic splicing enhancer sequence, and thus is a novel exon, which we named \"exon 2b.\" In lymphocytes, exon 2b incorporation was detected in the muscle-specific, promoter-driven transcript. Five of 20 normal human tissue mRNAs, including cardiac and skeletal muscle mRNAs, were confirmed to contain a fragment extending from exon 1 to exon 2b by reverse transcription PCR amplification, indicating that exon 2b is activated in a tissue-specific manner. This provides a clue to a novel cause of dystrophinopathy." ]

The patient is a 28-year-old male with the typical clinical features of end stage DMD. Since the age of 16 years he required ventilatory support by means of non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV), initially intermittently and since age 27 permanently. Since the age of 21 years he developed chronic heart failure, and since age 24 atrial flutter, successfully treated with amiodarone. After discontinuation of amiodarone because of hyperthyroidism, he developed atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography at age 28 revealed mitral insufficiency, enlarged left atrial diameter, and, surprisingly, LVHT. Since LVHT was absent at the initial echocardiographic examination, it was regarded acquired. The case shows that cardiac involvement in DMD may not only comprise rhythm abnormalities, valve abnormalities, and dilative cardiomyopathy, but also LVHT in single cases." ]

[ "To analyze a Duchenne muscular dystrophy(DMD) patient's muscular regeneration, dystrophin expression and locomotive variation before and after he underwent umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation in order to assess the therapeutic effect.", "A 12-year-old DMD boy who could not walk for 3 years was confirmed by gene analysis and dystrophin protein immune test on his muscle. He had no other chronic disease. By HLA matching, a piece of umbilical cord blood stem cell with 6 HLA sites matching to the boy was found in Guangdong Umbilical Cord Blood Bank. The number of the nucleated cells of the umbilical cord blood stem cell was 24.08x 10(8). After pretreatment for the DMD boy with busulfan, cyclophosphamide and rabbit anti-human thymocyte globulin, the allergenic cord blood stem cells were transplanted into him by intravenous injection. Cyclosporin A, methylprednisolone, MMF, prostaglandin E1 and ganciclovir were given after the transplantation. At the same time, Gran, the granulocytic cell stimulating factor, and gamma globulin were administered. The biochemistry profile including serum creatine kinase (CK), the reconstruction of blood making, the deletion exon of DMD gene, the regenerating muscles, the dystrophin protein expression, and the locomotive function of the DMD boy were tested regularly.", "(1) The white blood cells (WBC) of peripheral blood decreased gradually to zero after pretreatment. In a period of 15 days after transplantation, the neutrophil increased to 0.5x 10(9)/L; at 25 days, WBC increased to normal level. Blood platelet was more than 20x 10(9)/L at 22 days. The hemoglobin rose to 85-100 g/L. At 140 days, sternal puncture revealed the rapid growth of neutrophil, blood platelet and hemoglobin. (2)At 140 days, the blood type of the DMD boy transformed from type O to type AB (the donor's blood type being AB). There was no grafe versus host reaction. (3) At 18, 30, 43, 55, 74 and 233 days after transplantation, the PCR-short tandem repeat test of the boy's peripheral blood DNA showed that his genotype was completely the same as the donor's. The results of PCR-short tandem repeat tests of the bone marrow cells DNA by sternal puncture at 140, 183 and 235 days were the same as those of the blood DNA. (4) At 60 days, DMD gene analysis by PCR showed that the defected DMD gene (exon 19 deletion) had been corrected by the umbilical cord stem cells transplantation. (5) At 75 days, the biopsy of calf muscle showed there were myoblast cells and muscular tubes growing. The dystrophin expressions were weak, but a few of them were strong. DNA analysis showed that the donor's gene DNA accounted for 1%-13%. At 126 days, obviously increased dystrophin positive muscular fibers of the boy were found. The donor's fibers rose to 2.5%-25%. (6) The serum CK of the boy declined from 5735 U/L to 274 U/L.

[ "Although Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD; MIM 300376) is mainly caused by gross deletions of the dystrophin gene, the nature of the mutations involved in the remaining cases is of importance because of the milder clinical course of Becker. We have extensively characterized the mRNA changes associated with five novel point mutations giving rise to a Becker phenotype, which confirm that Becker arises largely due to alterations in splicing. In two cases the milder phenotype arises because of exon skipping, leading to an in-frame deletion (c.1603-2A>C and c.4250T>A). In further two cases intronic mutations (c.4519-5C>G and c.961-5925A>C) result in complex splicing changes, but with some residual normal transcripts. The last case, c.10412T>A (p.Leu3471X), results in a truncated transcript missing only part of the COOH terminal of the protein, suggesting that this region is not crucial for dystrophin function. The detection of a low amount of dystrophin in this patient could be attributable to a reduced efficiency of nonsense-mediated decay. The results emphasize that mRNA analysis is important in defining Becker mutations and will be of value in assessing various gene therapy strategies." ]

During preanesthetic evaluation, history, clinical and additional exams, no changes were detected except for the cervical tumor. We decided for total intravenous anesthesia with remifentanil administered by continuous infusion and propofol by target-controlled infusion without neuromuscular blockers. Surgery lasted 180 minutes without intercurrences. The second case was a male patient, 24 years old, with DMD and cholelithiasis with surgical indication who, during preoperative evaluation, has revealed severe restrictive pneumopathy with decreased capacity and respiratory reserves and the need for nasal BIPAP at night. For this patient we decided for tracheal intubation with minimum sedation and topic anesthesia, followed by total intravenous anesthesia with remifentanil administered by continuous infusion and propofol by target-controlled infusion without neuromuscular blockers.

[ "Glycerol kinase deficiency is a rarely diagnosed X-linked recessive disorder which occurs as a complex form together with the adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) or with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or as an isolated form either symptomatic or asymptomatic. We report the case of a male adult who had pseudo-hypertriglyceridemia (falsely elevated triglycerides of 552 mg/dl) refractory to lipid-lowering therapy for more than 15 years. Further investigations revealed an isolated, asymptomatic glycerol kinase deficiency. Using polymerase chain reaction and direct DNA sequencing, a novel missense mutation Gly280Ala in the Xp21.3 glycerol kinase gene was found. Comparison between human and E.coli glycerol kinase showed that the mutation affects a highly conserved amino acid in an ATP-binding domain in the active centre. This mutation is assumed to destabilize a hydrogen bond between ligand and enzyme resulting in a reduced activity of glycerol kinase and therefore in hyperglycerolemia." ]

[ "We report on a 38- year-old man with Becker-Kiener muscular dystrophy (BMD) and dilated cardiomyopathy without clinical symptoms of congestive heart failure who was referred for risk evaluation of sudden cardiac death. The degree of cardiac involvement in BMD varies greatly from no or hardly any cardiac abnormality to severe arrhythmias, dilatative cardiomyopathy and heart failure to heart transplantation or sudden cardiac death. These cardiac abnormalities have been related to replacement of the cardiomyocytes by connecting tissue or fat. In the clinical setting, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been proved to be a valid non-invasive method for obtaining anatomical and structural information of the heart. Furthermore, gadolinium-enhanced CMR can also characterize areas of myocardial fibrosis. Demonstration of extensive areas of fibrosis in an early stage of the disease might be a surrogate marker for an impaired clinical outcome. Therefore, serial CMR examinations starting upon diagnosis of the disease should be considered, as this may lead to an earlier recognition of cardiac involvement and may affect further management of the patient." ]

[ "The splicing pattern of pre-mRNA is unpredictable in genes harboring a single-nucleotide change within the consensus sequence of a splice-donor site. In the dystrophin gene, a transition from G to A at the fifth position of intron-32 (4518+5G > A) has been reported as a polymorphism within the consensus sequence or a mutation identified in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Here, we report both in vivo and in vitro evidence that shows inactivation of the splice-donor site caused by this mutation. In one Japanese DMD case, two novel dystrophin mRNAs were identified in the patient's lymphocytes, one with a 98 bp deletion of the 3' end of exon-32 (dys32-98) and the other with a 28 bp intron retained between exons 32 and 33 (dys32 + 28). Genomic sequencing disclosed a single-nucleotide change from G to A at the fifth position of intron-32 (4518+5G > A). To demonstrate in vitro the inactivation of this splice-donor site by this nucleotide change, mini-dystrophin genes comprising three exons harboring either normal or mutant intron-32 sequences were expressed in HeLa cells, and the splicing products were analyzed by reverse-transcription PCR amplification. A normal transcript consisting of three exons was obtained from the normal construct. From the mutant, we obtained one product containing a 98 bp deletion at the 3' end of exon-32, indicating complete inactivation of the native splice-donor site. Thus, both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrate that 4518+5G > A causes a splicing error leading to transcript termination; it did not behave like a silent polymorphism. Our results indicate that the in vitro splicing system is a powerful tool for determining the underlying mechanism of a disease-causing mutation in a splicing consensus sequence." ]

After pretreatment with busulfan 14 mg/kg.d, cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg.d, and rabbit anti-human thymocyte globulin 10 mg/kg.d, the allogeneic cord blood stem cells were transplanted intravenously. Cyclosporin A, methylprednisolone and MMF were used after the transplantation so as to prevent graft versus host reaction. Prostaglandin E1 was used to prevent Budd-Chiari syndrome, and ganciclovir was used to prevent cytomegalovirus infection. At the same time, Gran, granulocytic cell stimulating factor, and gammaglobulin were also used. Biochemistry test, including serum creatine kinase (CK), was conducted. Evidence of reconstruction of blood making, including conversion of blood type, was observed. PCR-STR analysis was used to observe the status of implantation of the donor umbilical cord blood stem cells.", "(1) 12 days after transplantation, the white blood cells (WBC) of peripheral blood were 0.5 x 10(9)/L, 14 days after, the numbers of WBC and neutrophils were 1.0 x 10(9)/L and 0.6 x 10(9)/L respectively. In 37 days, granulocytic cell stimulating factor was no more used, the peripheral blood WBC fluctuated around 3.34 approximately 12.2 x 10(9)/L. In the 27th day, the number of blood platelets was more than 20 x 10(9)/L and hemoglobin rose to 88 g/L. On the 24th day red blood cells transfusion was stopped.

(6) In the 42nd day, physical examination revealed obviously improvement in walking, turning the body over, and standing up.", "This is first case of prospective clinical transplantation on DMD by allogeneic cord blood stem cell. Umbilical cord stem cell transplantation helps re-build blood-making function, and improve locomotive function with a mild GVHD reaction. The genotype of rebuilt blood is mosaic but the ratio of gene mosaic gradually turn from recipient gene type > donor gene type to recipient gene type < donor gene type. The serum CK level decreases significantly after transplantation, which may slow down the necrosis of muscle cell. DMD patient will be benefited by stem cell transplantation." ]

[ "Out of 10 autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies reported, 4 are caused by mutations in the genes encoding for sarcoglycans (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-SG). Beta-sarcoglycanopathy (limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2E) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder which usually presents a severe progressive clinical course. A complete immunohistochemical evaluation of the sarcoglycan complex should be carried out to direct the mutation analysis approach. The present report concerns a Spanish family with a genetically confirmed beta-sarcoglycanopathy. The patient, a 16-year-old female, offspring of a consanguineous marriage, developed a severe limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with a Duchenne-like phenotype. Muscle biopsy showed dystrophic changes and complete absence of the four sarcoglycans. Genetic analysis demonstrated homozygosis for the M100K missense mutation in exon 3, encoding for the proximal extracellular domain. The parents and one sister were found to be carriers. Missense mutations affecting this domain result in the instability of the entire sarcoglycan complex and lead to severe phenotypes as seen in non-sense mutations." ]

[ "We describe the case of a 17-year-old boy with Becker's muscular dystrophy (BMD) presenting with rapid progression from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to heart failure within 2 years. Initial echocardiogram showed severe hypertrophy of left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) with normal chamber size, and preserved LV systolic function. Microscopic study of cardiac muscle obtained by endomyocardial biopsy of the interventricular septum showed severe hypertrophy of the muscle fibers and interstitial fibrosis. Follow-up echocardiogram 2 years after the first examination exhibited marked dilated LV and RV with severe LV global hypokinesia. Follow-up endomyocardial biopsy demonstrated increased interstitial cellular matrix. Immunohistochemical staining for dystrophin revealed significant loss of dystrophin along the sarcoplasmic membrane of the right biceps brachii muscle, compatible with BMD." ]

[ "A 40-year-old male with Becker muscular dystrophy and cardiac involvement was stable in New York Heart Association class II for 7 years. He then had arthralgia caused by bilateral gonarthrosis. He received diclofenac 100 mg/d and 500 mg/d mephenamine acid. Six weeks later, he was hospitalized because of heart failure (New York Heart Association class IV). Echocardiography revealed biatrial and biventricular dilation, a left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of 82 mm, an ejection fraction of 26%, a severe tricuspid regurgitation, and an elevated pulmonary artery pressure of 60 mm Hg. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were discontinued, and physiotherapy and equipment with a corset were initiated. He improved after treatment with parenteral diuretics, returning to class II. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be given with caution in Becker muscular dystrophy with cardiac involvement." ]

[ "Progressive muscular dystrophy may produce abnormal reactions to several drugs. There is no consensus of opinion regarding the continuous infusion of propofol in patients with progressive muscular dystrophy. We successfully treated 2 patients with progressive muscular dystrophy who were anesthetized with a continuous infusion of propofol. In case 1, a 19-year-old, 59-kg man with Becker muscular dystrophy and mental retardation was scheduled for dental treatment under general anesthesia. General anesthesia was maintained by a continuous infusion of 6-10 mg/kg propofol per hour and an inhalational mixture of 67% nitrous oxide and 33% oxygen. No complications were observed during or after the operation. In case 2, a 5-year-old, 11-kg boy with Fukuyama type congenital muscular dystrophy and slight mental retardation was scheduled for dental treatment under general anesthesia. General anesthesia was maintained with a continuous infusion of 6-12 mg/kg propofol per hour and an inhalational mixture of 0.5-1.5% sevoflurane in 67% nitrous oxide and 33% oxygen. No complications were observed during or after the operation. It is speculated that a continuous infusion of propofol in progressive muscular dystrophy does not cause malignant hyperthermia because serum levels of creatine phosphokinase and myoglobin decreased after our anesthetic management. Furthermore, our observations suggest that sevoflurane may have some advantages in patients with progressive type muscular dystrophies other than Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy. In conclusion, our cases suggest that a continuous infusion of propofol for the patients with progressive muscular dystrophy is a safe component of our anesthetic strategy." ]

[ "An 18 month-old girl was diagnosed as ventricular septal defect (VSD) with mild aortic valve prolapse. She underwent a closure of VSD. Intra-and early postoperative course was uneventful. However, 20 hours after surgery, sudden bradycardia led to cardiac arrest and strong muscle rigidity was seen. Hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis rapidly progressed and resuscitation was failed. Extracorporeal life support and continuous hemodialysis were initiated, but the patient died with multiple organ failure on 5th postoperative day. Her clinical course supported the diagnosis of delayed onset malignant hyperthermia. Histopathological findings of muscle biopsy were consistent with rhabdomyolysis, and immunopathological stains demonstrated changes as in a Duchenne type muscular dystrophy carrier.

[ "We describe the peripartum anaesthetic management of a 36-year-old woman who was a manifesting carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked recessive disorder affecting young males associated with severe complications during anaesthesia if depolarising neuromuscular blocking drugs and volatile agents are used. A manifesting carrier is a heterozygous female who demonstrates the disease in a milder form than in males. This probably occurs because of skewed X-inactivation. We planned to establish regional anaesthesia should an operation be necessary during labour or delivery and to use propofol total intravenous anaesthesia and rocuronium if general anaesthesia became unavoidable.

[ "OTC deficiency, the most common urea cycle defect, is transmitted as a partially dominant X-linked trait. The most severe form of the disease, however, is usually restricted to males. We report on monozygotic female twins with severe neonatal-onset OTC deficiency and a de novo balanced reciprocal translocation t(X;5)(p21.1;q11). Disruption of the OTC gene on the derivative X-chromosome was confirmed by FISH analysis. Consistent inactivation of the normal X could be demonstrated by RGB staining. Manifestation of X-linked recessive disorders in females due to a balanced reciprocal X-autosome translocation has previously been described in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and several other disorders but not in OTC deficiency. This report emphasizes the importance of chromosome analysis in any female manifesting severe OTC deficiency." ]

[ "Mutations that cause premature stop codons in the dystrophin gene lead to a complete loss of dystrophin from skeletal muscle, resulting in severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Here, a C-terminally truncated dystrophin resulting from a novel nonsense mutation is shown for the first time to be localized to the muscle plasma membrane. An asymptomatic 8-y-old boy was examined for dystrophin in skeletal muscle because of high serum creatine kinase activity. Remarkably, no dystrophin labeling was seen with an MAb against the C-terminal domain, suggesting the presence of an early stop codon in the dystrophin gene. Labeling with an antibody specific to the N-terminal domain, however, revealed weak, patchy, and discontinuous staining, suggesting limited production of a truncated form of the protein. Molecular analysis revealed a novel nonsense mutation (Q3625X) as a result of a single nucleotide change in the patient's genomic DNA (C10873T), leaving 1.6% of dystrophin gene product unsynthesized at the C terminus. Dystrophin mRNA analysis did not show rescue of the nonsense mutation as a result of exon-skipping by an alternative splicing mechanism.

[ "Editing of dystrophin mRNA by induction of exon skipping, using antisense oligonucleotides, has been proposed as one way to generate dystrophin expression in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. Here, antisense chimeric oligonucleotides consisting of RNA and a new modified nucleic acid are tested for activity to induce skipping of an exon containing a nonsense mutation. In a Japanese DMD case, a nonsense mutation (R1967X) due to a single nucleotide change in exon 41 of the dystrophin gene (C5899T) was identified. Oligonucleotides consisting of 2'-O-methyl RNA and a new 2'-O,4'-C-ethylene-bridged nucleic acid (ENA) were designed to bind the mutation site of exon 41, and their ability to induce exon 41 skipping in dystrophin mRNA was evaluated. Finally, among the specific oligonucleotides tested, an 18-mer RNA/ENA chimera was found to have the strongest activity, inducing exon 41 skipping in nearly 90% of dystrophin mRNA. Accordingly, nearly 90% of cultured myocytes were shown to be dystrophin positive by immunohistochemical analysis. Western blot analysis disclosed the presence of nearly normal-sized dystrophin up to 1 week after the transfection. Our results suggest that an RNA/ENA chimera can be used to express dystrophin in DMD." ]

[ "We attempted to identify a mutation in dystrophin gene in a female patient who was suspected a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) carrier with muscle weakness of upper limbs and congestive heart failure. We examined the mutation hot spots in DMD gene, exon 3, 6, 8, 13, 17, 19, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52, 60 by multiplex PCR which had been a diagnostic screening strategy, and detected an extra band in exon 43 product. We also detected an extra band in exon 43 products by SSCP analysis for detection of small mutations which could not be detected by multiplex PCR. As a result of sequencing a PCR product of an exon 43, we confirmed an allele having the insertion of a 2 base of AT in Intron42, which is described for the first time. Although we can not conclude that this insertion is responsible for DMD, but it may cause abnormal splicing.

[ "Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (DMD and BMD) are caused, in the majority of cases, by deletions in the dystrophin gene (DMD). Here we describe the unprecedented case of a BMD patient carrying a large out-of-frame intragenic deletion, together with an inversion in the DMD gene, resulting in the inclusion of a novel exon in the transcript. Multiplex PCR amplification revealed the presence of a 48-52 exon deletion, but transcript analysis identified two unexpected products, neither of them including exon 53. The shorter mRNA derived from the juxtaposition of exons 47-54 (in-frame), while the longer one resulted from the inclusion of a novel 73-bp exon between exons 47 and 54. Sequence analysis revealed that the inserted sequence derived from an inverted portion of intron 53; its inclusion is predicted to determine protein truncation. The presence of a genomic inversion involving exon 53 and flanking regions was confirmed, and inversion/deletion breakpoints were sequenced. The inverted 73-bp sequence displays splicing signals at both ends and thus it is probably recognized as a novel exon when the partially inverted hnRNA is processed. These findings highlight the importance of mRNA analysis on patients that, based on routine DNA screenings, do not follow the reading-frame rule. This is the first reported patient carrying both an intragenic deletion and inversion in the DMD locus. This case might provide further insight into both the mechanisms that determine genomic rearrangements in the DMD locus and the molecular signals that drive exon inclusion." ]

[ "We describe a rare case of Becker's muscular dystrophy (BMD) in a 28-year-old man complicated by rapidly progressing heart failure without apparent clinical signs of neuromuscular disease. He showed rhabdomyolysis, which repeatedly occurred causing acute renal failure as heart failure worsened. His serum creatine kinase (CK) level was generally below 300 IU/l. However, it exceeded more than 10,000 IU/l at the time of myoglobinuria. This suggests that the worsening of heart failure could induce rhabdomyolysis in a BMD patient.

[ "A 65-year-old man with previous history of congestive heart failure and genetically proven Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) was suddenly suffered from aphasia and right hemiplegia. Physical examination showed severe motor aphasia, right hemiplegia, and signs of left heart failure. An echocardiogram before the onset of aphasia showed markedly dilated left ventricle and decreased ventricular contraction. Intracardiac thrombus was not detected. Although his electrocardiogram on admission showed sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation was noted at the time of neurological deterioration. MRI of the brain revealed acute infarction in the territory of the left middle cerebral artery and the left anterior inferior cerebellar artery. MR angiography showed vascular occlusion at the left M2 segment. Cerebral embolism due to atrial fibrillation associated with BMD-related DCM was diagnosed. While an administration of anti-coagulant, diuretics, and dopamine relieved his respiratory distress and right hemiplegia, severe motor aphasia persisted. Cerebral embolism may be a notable complication in patients with BMD presenting with late-life expression of skeletal muscular weakness and antecedent cardiac involvement." ]

Five months later, the patient developed a transient episode of aphasia and the study performed in this case revealed lesions compatible with infarcts in basal ganglia and insular cortex of the right cerebral hemisphere.", "Cerebral infarction related to cardiomyopathy can worsen the clinical condition of patients with DMD. Early treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy with systolic dysfunction, including use of antithrombotic agents to prevent cerebrovascular complications, could help to improve the course of the disease." ]

[ "Becker muscular dystrophy, similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is a X-chromosomal linked anomaly characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Duchenne-type is known to have severe openbite with a steep mandibular plane, but there are no studies that describe the occlusal and skeletal patterns of the Becker-type. Here, we report the orthodontic treatment of a Becker muscular dystrophy patient. In the correction of his severe skeletal open bite general anesthesia or orthognathic surgery was not an option. Multiloop edgewise archwires were employed for orthodontic treatment. After 3 years and 8 months the open bite was corrected. During the retention period contact between the anterior teeth was maintained 8 months after active treatment despite a marked relapse tendency." ]

[ "Almost all of the thousands of pathogenic mutations which have been described in the dystrophin gene either reduce protein production or remove large regions of the protein. This has severely limited the use of mutational information for the functional dissection of the dystrophin protein and increases the value of rare subtle mutations. We report a 3-bp deletion which removes a single highly conserved residue (glutamic acid 3367) adjacent to the dystrophin ZZ domain. This results in a phenotype of Duchenne muscular dystrophy with substantial retention of a presumably functionally compromised dystrophin protein. Two missense mutations (both affecting nearby residues) have been previously reported to result in this unusual combination of severe phenotype and high protein level. We discuss the functional implications of this and other mutations in the light of the predicted structure of the region. The pathogenicity of E3367del serves to emphasise the functional importance of this region of the dystrophin protein." ]

The authors present the case of a 15-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease associated with Becker muscular dystrophy. Becker muscular dystrophy is an X-linked neuromuscular disease due to in-frame mutations in the dystrophin gene, and it is considered a milder variant of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

[ "Tracheocoele, a congenital or acquired lesion, is rarely detected radiologically and even more rarely diagnosed clinically. This tracheal lesion is characterised by the presence of a single cystic lesion filled with air or a mixture of liquid and air, of extremely variable size, occurring in almost all cases, in a locus minoris resistentiae situated in the right posterolateral portion of the trachea. The rare case is described of a voluminous tracheocoele located in the left paratracheal region, extending from the cricoid to sternal notch, manifesting clinically, 3 months prior to evaluation in our hospital in a 27-year-old male suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy since the age of 5 years. For 10 years, the patient had been treated with intermittent positive pressure ventilation via nasal mask, due to progressive deterioration of respiratory function. Diagnosis of tracheocoele, initially made at computed axial tomography scan, was confirmed by flexible laryngotracheoscopy under local anaesthesia. Due to severe comorbidity associated with the clinical picture described, the absence of a significant set of symptoms, and the problems concerning anaesthesiological management of the patient, palliative treatment was the only choice. This consisted in cervical compression bandaging during assisted nasal ventilation. Close follow-up was performed in order to monitor any progression of the lesion or onset of related complications. This is the second case of tracheocoele originating in the left paratracheal region reported in the literature, and the first associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and prolonged use of a positive pressure respirator. The aetiopathogenic mechanisms that may have determined the formation of this rare lesion are then taken into consideration." ]

[ "In the course of a mutation search performed by muscle dystrophin transcript analysis in 72 Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies (DMD/BMD) patients without gross gene defect, we encountered four unrelated cases with additional out-of-frame sequences precisely intercalated between two intact exons of the mature muscle dystrophin mRNA. An in silico search of the whole dystrophin genomic sequence revealed that these inserts correspond to cryptic exons flanked by one strong and one weak consensus splice site and located in the mid-part of large introns (introns 60, 9, 1M, and 62, respectively). In each case we identified an intronic point mutation activating the cryptic donor or acceptor splice site. The patients exhibited a BMD/intermediate phenotype consistent with the presence of reduced amounts of normally spliced transcript and normal dystrophin. The frequency of this new type of mutation is not negligible (6% of our series of 65 patients with 'small' mutations). It would be missed if the exploration of the DMD gene is exclusively performed on exons and flanking sequences of genomic DNA." ]

This study presents a unique observation of phenotypic variability in monozygotic triplets with Becker's muscular dystrophy. The expressions of the disease range from severe peripheral myopathy to severe congestive heart failure.

[ "While frame-shift mutations are usually found in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), in-frame mutations are associated with the less severe phenotype of Becker's muscular dystrophy. Exceptions have been reported in both directions suggesting the existence of modifying genes, which might be helpful for innovation of new therapeutic strategies. We report on the very rare case of an intrafamilially different course of DMD, with the younger brother being far less affected than the older one when compared at the same age. In this context, we constructed a subtraction library enriched for transcripts over-expressed in the patient with the milder phenotype. Twelve random clones were sequenced, followed by database analysis. Six of them, casein kinase 1 alpha 1, RAP2B, dynactin 3 light chain, core binding factor beta, myosin light polypeptide 2 and one hypothetical gene, were further analysed by real-time RT-PCR. All these genes were over-expressed 3-20 times in the less affected patient compared with the more severely affected one. Casein kinase 1 and the hypothetical gene showed even a slightly higher expression than the control. Up-regulation of myosin light polypeptide 2, one of the most sensitive markers of muscle fibre regeneration, obviously reflects the milder phenotype. Casein kinase 1, dynactin and core binding factor are supposed to be involved in cell cycle pathways. RAP is a component of the signalling network which controls fundamental cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation. All four might be interesting candidates for a therapeutic approach to diminish progression of dystrophy in DMD." ]

[ "Several studies have recently highlighted the fact that the clinical involvement in females carrying a mutation in the dystrophin gene could be more frequent than usually thought, suggesting the need of a careful cardiac follow-up. Except for the classical chromosomal rearrangements, it was shown that a bias in the X chromosome inactivation process could be found in some affected females. We report two families illustrating different situations. The propositus of the first family, aged 32, presented with a proximal muscular weakness, increasing for three years, as well as elevated muscular enzymes in blood. Her brother suffered from classical Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Her mother was more severely affected, whereas her sister remained asymptomatic. A duplication of exons 3 to 7 of the dystrophin gene was found in all four patients. The affected carrier from the second family was a sporadic case. She has been suffering from proximal muscular weakness for six years. Muscle biopsy showed a mosaic pattern of the immunostaining using specific antidystrophin antibodies. A stop mutation was found in exon 52. Her ten year-old daughter, carrying the mutation, was asymptomatic. In both families, the inactivation profiles were in accordance with the clinical presentation. We discuss the different mechanisms that may lead to the inactivation bias in these patients, as well as the advantage and limits of using the X chromosome inactivation test as a tool for diagnosis and prognosis purpose in symptomatic carriers for dystrophinopathies." ]

We report the case of a Duchenne boy, aged 12 years and 7 month, who, during a programmed examination, showed electrocardiographic signs of ST segment elevation, without symptoms usually accompanying myocardial infarction (chest pain, dyspnoea, sweating). The biological markers of myocardial damage became positive on the 2nd day and recovered on the 5th day. Clinical features of this uncommon pattern are described, with the retrospective evaluation of similar cases from personal records.

[ "A male patient with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) had tonic-clonic convulsion. He showed transient elevations of serum creatine kinase (CK) and plasma D-dimer. Serum CK, ordinarily 122-386 IU/l, was elevated to 9,262 IU/l, while plasma D-dimer, below 66 ng/ml in normal subjects, was at 543 ng/ml, and these levels were significantly correlated. Serum fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products levels were within a normal range. In the present case, acute muscle destruction due to tonic-clonic convulsion was considered to transiently activate a coagulation cascade. Plasma D-dimer elevation is the result of fibrin thrombus and can induce thrombosis, such as a pulmonary embolism. Thrombosis is a serious life-threatening complication of DMD, though the mechanism remains unclear. There were no thrombotic complications in the present patient, however, acute muscle destruction enhances the coagulation and fibrinolysis status in patients with advanced DMD and may be a candidate cause of thrombosis." ]

[ "We experienced a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) complicated by thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). This patient exhibited abrupt high fever, renal dysfunction and thrombocytopenia from February 2, 2002. Hemolysis was also indicated by indirect dominant hyperbilirubinemia, although hemoglobin was only slightly decreased. No central nervous system signs and symptoms were detected. TTP was suggested by these findings and confirmed by decreased activity (21%) of von Willebrand factor cleaving protease activity. Plasma exchange was performed for 4 days from February 5, and enabled recovery. Thrombosis, such as cerebral and lung infarction, has occasionally been seen in DMD. Recently, several findings associating muscle degeneration with hypercoagulation have been reported, for example, a strong correlation between serum CK level and FDP. In seven cases of DMD with pulmonary infarction, transient elevation of serum CK was detected prior to LDH elevation. However, there have been no reports of TTP in DMD patients. Since serum CK was not elevated during our patient's clinical course, it is unlikely that muscle degeneration played a role in TTP in this patient. It should be noted that endothelial abnormalities have been reported in DMD, since endothelial injury is considered a fundamental factor in TTP." ]

[ "The molecular background of an intermediate type of dystrophinopathy [Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD)] remains to be clarified, and out-of -frame and in-frame mutations of the dystrophin gene are shown to be causes of DMD and BMD, respectively. In a boy with this disease, dystrophin mRNA extracted from lymphocytes and muscle were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively using reverse transcription PCR. Three different dystrophin mRNA were found to be produced via the use of three cryptic splice acceptor sites resulting from a novel point mutation of 2831-2A>G at the conserved splice acceptor site of intron 20. One of three mRNA showed an insertion of six nucleotides of intron 20 between exons 20 and 21 (dys+6) that encoded two novel amino acids in the rod domain of dystrophin. Two other mRNA species showed an insertion of seven nucleotides of intron 20 between exons 20 and 21 (dys+7) or a seven-nucleotide deletion in exon 21 (dys-7). Quantitative analysis of each dystrophin mRNA expressed in the boy's skeletal muscle disclosed that around 95% and 5% of dystrophin mRNAs were dys-7 and dys+6, respectively, whereas these two mRNA were almost equally expressed in lymphocytes. It is suggested that production of a small fraction of in-frame mRNA in muscle explains the molecular background of the intermediate type of dystrophinopathy in the index case. This finding underlines the potential of genetic therapeutic strategies aimed to modify mRNA in DMD to generate a much milder disease." ]

[ "We report a 5-year follow-up of two 4-year-old boys with classical Duchenne dystrophy, with an out-of-frame deletion in the Duchenne gene and absence of dystrophin in their muscle, who had a quite remarkable response to an intermittent, low-dosage, regime of prednisolone (0.75 mg/kg/day for 10 days each month, or alternating 10 days on and 10 days off). In the first case there was complete remission of all clinical signs of dystrophy, sustained almost fully up to the present time; in the second, the initial response was almost as marked, sustained for almost 5 years, before showing a fairly rapid decline over the ensuing year that resulted in loss of independent ambulation at the age of 10. Both boys remained around the 50th centile for height and weight, and showed no evidence of demineralization of bone on consecutive dual X-ray absorptiometry scanning of the spine, nor any signs of chronic prednisolone toxicity. These carefully documented individual cases suggest there may be an optimal window for treatment in the early stages of the disease, and further larger scale controlled studies should be targeted more selectively at this stage of the disease. This report also confirms that our regime of low dosage, intermittent prednisolone, with cycles of 10 days of treatment, either per month or alternating with 10 days off treatment, is well tolerated and can therefore be recommended for long-term use in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy." ]

[ "Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the major indication for heart transplantation. Approximately 30% of all DCM is thought to be inherited, while 70% is sporadic. Mutations in the dystrophin gene have been associated with the uncommon X-linked form of DCM. We hypothesized that missense mutations and other less severe mutations of the dystrophin gene might predispose to the common form of sporadic DCM. To test this hypothesis, 22kb of genomic dystrophin DNA was scanned with DOVAM-S in each of the 22 patients with sporadic DCM, including all 79 coding sequences and splice junctions, as well as six alternative exon 1 dystrophin isoforms (484kb, total). Three putative new mutations (IVS5+1 G>T, K18N, and F3228L) and seven polymorphisms were identified. The splice site mutation IVS5+1 is predicted to cause skipping of exon 5, which is within a region containing an actin binding site. The missense mutations occur at amino acids that display substantial evolutionary conservation. Screening of 236 control individuals failed to identify these three mutations. The three patients with putative mutations had CK-MM (creatine kinase, skeletal muscle) levels greater than 250 units while the 14 patients without mutations for which CK-MM were available had values ranging from 20 to 200. The first comprehensive mutation scanning of the exons and splice junctions of the dystrophin gene in patients with sporadic DCM presents the evidence that point mutations are associated with sporadic DCM without clinical evidence of skeletal myopathy. It may be prudent to measure CK-MM in all patients with dilated cardiomyopathy to identify candidates at high risk for dystrophin mutations." ]

[ "Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe progressive muscle-wasting disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Studies have shown that bone marrow cells transplanted into lethally irradiated mdx mice, the mouse model of DMD, can become part of skeletal muscle myofibers. Whether human marrow cells also have this ability is unknown. Here we report the analysis of muscle biopsies from a DMD patient (DMD-BMT1) who received bone marrow transplantation at age 1 year for X-linked severe combined immune deficiency and who was diagnosed with DMD at age 12 years. Analysis of muscle biopsies from DMD-BMT1 revealed the presence of donor nuclei within a small number of muscle myofibers (0.5-0.9%). The majority of the myofibers produce a truncated, in-frame isoform of dystrophin lacking exons 44 and 45 (not wild-type). The presence of bone marrow-derived donor nuclei in the muscle of this patient documents the ability of exogenous human bone marrow cells to fuse into skeletal muscle and persist up to 13 years after transplantation." ]

[ "A 12-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy underwent posterior spinal fusion for progressive scoliosis. Preoperative evaluation was focused on respiratory function as well as cardiac function, which revealed markedly reduced respiratory reserve (FVC 0.77 l, %FVC 25.9%, FEV1.0 0.48 l, %FEV1.0 62%) and well-preserved biventricular function. A possible association between malignant hyperthermia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy has been documented. Thus anesthesia was administered without triggering agents. Propofol and fentanyl were used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia, and the patient was ventilated with O2-nitrous oxide mixture. The anesthesia machine, prepared by using a disposable circuit and fresh CO2-absorbent and disconnecting the vaporizers, was flushed with O2 at a rate of 10 l.min-1 for 20 minutes before use. A small dose of vecuronium was administered while monitoring the train-of-four ratio. The bispectral index (BIS) was utilized to optimize the depth of anesthesia so that the wake-up test could be performed promptly on surgeon's request while avoiding the intraoperative awareness. The BIS was helpful in continuously assessing the wakening process. BIS increased from 40's to 80's in 15 minutes after discontinuation of propofol and nitrous oxide during the test. The patient was kept under close observation postoperatively without any sign of malignant hyperthermia." ]

[ "A male patient with profound mental retardation, athetosis, nystagmus, and severe congenital hypotonia (Duchenne muscular dystrophy [DMD]) was previously shown to carry a pericentric inversion of the X chromosome, 46,Y,inv(X)(p21.2q22.2). His mother carried this inversion on one X allele. The patient's condition was originally misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy, and only later was it diagnosed as DMD. Because the DMD gene is located at Xp21.2, which is one breakpoint of the inv(X), and because its defects are rarely associated with severe mental retardation, the other clinical features of this patient were deemed likely to be associated with the opposite breakpoint at Xq22. Our precise molecular-cytogenetic characterization of both breakpoints revealed three catastrophic genetic events that had probably influenced neuromuscular and cognitive development: deletion of part of the DMD gene at Xp21.2, duplication of the human proteolipid protein gene (PLP) at Xq22.2, and disruption of a novel gene.

[ "gamma-sarcoglicanopathies, also classified as limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C (LGMD2C) are a group of autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies due to mutations in 13q12 and subsequent g sarcoglican deficiency. The protein is one of the components of the dystrophin associated glycoprotein complex and is thought to impart structural integrity to the myofibre. The clinical course of the disease may be heterogeneous, ranging from severe forms with onset in the first decade and rapid progression resembling Progressive Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) to milder forms with later onset and slower course. Cases hitherto reported in Spain corresponds to gypsie patients, homozygous for C283Y missense mutation.", "Here, we report three new galician (Northwest Spain) patients (one male and one female sibling cases) with a severe DMD like muscular dystrophy homozygous for D 521T. In the first male familial case, initial diagnosis of DMD was made. On reevaluation fourteen years later, inmunohistochemical and molecular studies allowed for a definitive g sarcoglicanopathy diagnosis.", "Patients with a primary sarcoglycanopathy may be clinically indistinguishable from those with the primary dystrophinopathies. Probably, the diagnosis of LGMD are underestimated and a number of male patients diagnosed as DMD really corresponds to a recessive form o muscular dystrophy. Consequently, a definitive diagnosis rests on appropriate inmunohistochemical and molecular analysis, specially in those patients showing a normal pattern of dystrophin and/or suggestive for an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance." ]

[ "Rhabdomyolysis is one of the perioperative complications in patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD). It has been suggested that sevoflurane can be used safely for anesthesia in patients with DMD. In this report, we describe a case with DMD who received anesthesia with sevoflurane, in which rhabdomyolysis developed postoperatively. A 6-year-old boy diagnosed as DMD was scheduled for tonsillectomy under general anesthesia. Preoperative laboratory examination revealed a high level of creatine kinase (CK) (16,000-32,000 IU.l-1). An abnormality of the dystrophin gene was detected by DNA analysis. Anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane without muscle relaxant, and maintained with sevoflurane in nitrous oxide and oxygen under controlled ventilation. The course of anesthesia was uneventful and the patient recovered smoothly. Three hours postoperatively, dark red urine with a high concentration of myoglobin (1,390,000 ng.ml-1) was recognized with a high level of CK (63,500 IU.l-1). Body temperature was 37.6 degrees C, and electrocardiogram and serum potassium were within normal ranges. After the diuresis with mannitol and furosemide, the urine became clear. On the 4th postoperative day, he was discharged without any complication. This case suggested that rhabdomyolysis can develop after sevoflurane anesthesia in patients with DMD." ]

[ "Childhood muscular dystrophies have a wide clinical spectrum, motor disability and are variably inherited. Although the phenotype may appear similar they may represent distinct genetic entities. Advances in immunohistochemistry, gene deletion and linkage studies have enabled precise characterization. We report a family with an early onset weakness and calf pseudo hypertrophy in 2 male sibs with an usually mild course. Deletion screening was negative for 24 exons of the DMD gene in both. Muscle immunohistochemistry revealed normal dystrophin I and II staining but complete absence for adhalin, a dystrophin associated glycoprotein. Classifying them as adhalinopathy. Severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies (SCARMD) result from mutation in the sarcoglycan complex (59). Adhalinopathy is now used to describe SCARMD. The adhalinopathy described in our patients is the first report from India." ]

[ "We herein present the findings of a 10-year-old boy with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the ascending colon which caused intussusception and intestinal bleeding. He had a history of Becker muscular dystrophy. However, he had neither hypertrophic calves nor cardiomyopathy, and his serum creatine kinase (CK) level always exceeded 2000 IU/l. Preoperatively, a laboratory examination revealed high serum levels of CK (2038IU/l), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and the blood hemoglobin level was 7.0g/dl. A barium enema examination revealed an intussusception in his ascending colon, which was found to be a highly vascular tumor on Doppler ultrasound scans. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Macroscopically, the 5 x 6 x 8-cm solid tumor of the ascending colon resembled a submucosal tumor and had two ulcerous lesions at the tip. The tumor was histologically diagnosed to be a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the ascending colon. General examinations revealed no involvement of lymphoma postoperatively. At 13 months after surgery, the CK (37861U/l), AST (110lU/l), ALT (1381U/ l), and LDH (420lU/l) levels are still high, and the patient is doing well without any signs of recurrence." ]

This uniformity is probably attributable to ablation of the message by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). The rare truncating mutations that occur near the 3' end of the dystrophin gene (beyond exon 70) can however result in extremely variable phenotypes (both intra- and inter-familially).

Neurological examination was unremarkable with no evidence of muscle weakness. Serum creatine kinase level was slightly increased. Echocardiography showed severe left ventricular dysfunction. Coronary angiography showed no abnormalities. Left ventriculography showed generalized hypokinesis and left ventricular ejection fraction was 28%. Dystrophin immunostaining of the skeletal muscle biopsy specimen showed a mosaic pattern. The dystrophin negative fibers were scattered among positive fibers.

[ "The cardiac features of a novel form of congenital muscular dystrophy (Salih CMD) are described in two adolescent siblings. The patients presented with severe hypotonia at birth, associated with delayed development. They could walk independently and managed to maintain walking after 13 years of age. Their muscle immunohistochemistry differed from that seen in Duchenne and Becher muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD), severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy (SCARMD) due to sarcoglycan deficiency (sarcoglycanopathies), and lamininalpha2 (merosin)-deficient CMD. However, both patients had associated cardiomyopathy. Electrocardiography (ECG) in Salih CMD was characterized by delayed atrioventricular (AV) conduction, left anterior fascicular block (left axis deviation), and left atrial enlargement without evidence of atrial dysarrhythmia. Echocardiography showed features of severe left ventricular dysfunction with estimated left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) of 25% at 16 years-of-age in the older patient. A year later, multigated aquisition MUGA scan showed LVEF of 21% and dilatation of the right ventricle. Echocardiography and MUGA scan were normal in the younger patient at 15 years-of-age. ECG, echocardiography, and MUGA scan are effective techniques for diagnosing and monitoring the cardiomyopathy in Salih CMD. They can also distinguish it from features seen in the other common forms of MD, including DMD, BMD, and sarcoglycanopathies." ]

Four months after the episode a muscle biopsy was performed and showed a mild pattern of necrosis/regeneration. Upon immunofluorescence, a mosaic pattern of dystrophin deficiency was found, and in the dystrophin deficient muscle fibres, the four proteins of the sarcoglycan complex were also lacking. Genetic analysis showed a duplication of exons 3 to 17 on one X-chromosome of the proband, but not on the mother's X-chromosome.

[ "The authors report a 47-year-old man with Becker-type muscular dystrophy presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy. Left ventriculography showed diffuse severe hypokinesia: left ventricular end-diastolic volume index 193 mL/m2, left ventricular end-systolic volume index 143 mL/m2, and left ventricular ejection fraction 26%. Skeletal muscle biopsy demonstrated a dystrophic process. Genetic analysis revealed a deletion of exon 4. There was a difference in immunostaining pattern between skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles. Severe cardiac dysfunction in this case may be associated with the damage in dystrophin-deficient fibers." ]
