We found that a female infant presenting with left bundle branch block and left ventricular noncompaction carries uninvestigated gene mutations HCN4(G811E), SCN5A(L1988R), DMD(S2384Y), and EMD(R203H).
The boy was diagnosed with BMD, despite remarkable reduction in GAA activity; further, he demonstrated heterozygosity for [p.Gly576Ser; p.Glu689Lys] polymorphism variants that indicated pseudodeficiency on another allele in GAA.
In addition, we show that a missense mutation (arginine 440 to glutamine) in WWP1-which is known to cause muscular dystrophy in chickens-increases the ubiquitin ligase-mediated ubiquitination of both β-dystroglycan and WWP1.

This study presents nine patients with mitochondrial tRNA Leu (UUR) m.3243A>G mutation and compares the clinical characteristics and diabetes complications with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) or early onset type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

We provide evidence that YFP can detect morphological and plastic alterations in the SOD1(G93A) mouse, and that the pre- and post-synaptic integrity of the NMJ plays an important role in the pathogenic mechanisms of ALS.

Upon cyclical cell stretching, cardiac myocytes expressing mutant δ-sarcoglycan R97Q or R71T have increased cell-impermeant dye uptake and undergo contractures at greater frequencies than myocytes expressing normal δ-sarcoglycan.
The aim of the study was to evaluate frequency of polymorphism 326A/T of gene ITLN-1 and assessment of its relations with the clinical parameters of osseous turnover and degree of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
We performed whole exome sequencing on two families with autosomal dominantly inherited myopathies with autophagic vacuolar pathology and surprisingly identified a p.R454W tail domain mutation and a novel p.S6W head domain mutation in desmin, DES.
Missense mutation Lys18Asn in dystrophin that triggers X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy decreases protein stability, increases protein unfolding, and perturbs protein structure, but does not affect protein function.
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.
