The Low-Affinity Receptor for Neurotrophins p75NTR Plays a Key Role for Satellite Cell Function in Muscle Repair Acting via RhoA

Description : Regeneration of muscle fibers, lost during pathological muscle degeneration or after injuries, is mediated by the production of new myofibres. This process, sustained by the resident stem cells of the muscle, the satellite cells, is finely regulated by local cues, in particular by cytokines and grow...

Diverse Evolutionary Histories for β-adrenoreceptor Genes in Humans

Description : In humans, three genes—ADRB1, ADRB2 and ADRB3—encode β-adrenoreceptors (ADRB); these molecules mediate the action of catecholamines in multiple tissues and play pivotal roles in cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, and immunological functions. Genetic variants in ADRB genes have been associated w...

Tyr78Phe Transthyretin Mutation with Predominant Motor Neuropathy as the Initial Presentation

Description : Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis, the most frequent form of hereditary amyloidosis, is caused by dominant mutations in the TTR gene. More than 100 mutations have been identified. Clinical manifestations of TTR amyloidosis are usually induced by extracellular amyloid deposition in several organs. The ...

Neurocognitive Profiles in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Gene Mutation Site

Description : The presence of nonprogressive cognitive impairment is recognized as a common feature in a substantial proportion of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. To investigate the possible role of mutations along the dystrophin gene affecting different brain dystrophin isoforms and specific cognitive...

Colocalization of ribonuclear inclusions with muscle blind like-proteins in a family with myotonic dystrophy type 2 associated with a short CCTG expansion

Description : Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is an autosomal dominant multisystemic disorder caused by a CCTG repeat expansion in intron 1 of the zinc finger protein 9 (ZNF9) gene. We present a three first-degree relative Italian family (proband, his mother and his sister) with a mild DM2 phenotype associated wi...

Rs5848 Variant Influences GRN mRNA Levels in Brain and Peripheral Mononuclear Cells in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease

Description : Mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN), causative for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration with ubiquitin-immunoreactive neuronal inclusions (FTLD-U), could also be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The influence of GRN genetic variability on susceptibility to AD and on expression levels in a ...

Clinical and molecular characterization of a cohort of patients with novel nucleotide alterations of the Dystrophin gene detected by direct sequencing

Description :

Abstract

Background

Duchenne and Becker Muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) are allelic disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which encodes a sarcolemmal protein responsible for muscle integrity. Deletions and duplications account for approximately 75% of mutations in DMD...

Neural stem cell transplantation can ameliorate the phenotype of a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy

Description : Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a motor neuron disease (MND) and one of the most common genetic causes of infant mortality, currently has no cure. Patients with SMA exhibit muscle weakness and hypotonia. Stem cell transplantation is a potential therapeutic strategy for SMA and other MNDs. In this stu...
