Abstract

Characterized by proximal muscle weakness and wasting, limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a heterogeneous group of clinical disorders. Previous reports have documented either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive modes of inheritance, with genetic linkage studies providing evidence for the existence of at least 12 distinct loci. Gene products have been identified for five genes responsible for autosomal recessive forms of the disorder. We performed a genome scan using pooled DNA from a large Hutterite kindred in which the affected members display a mild form of autosomal recessive LGMD. A total of 200 markers were used to screen pools of DNA from patients and their siblings. Linkage between the LGMD locus and D9S302 (maximum LOD score 5.99 at recombination fraction .03) was established. Since this marker resides within the chromosomal region known to harbor the gene causing Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), we expanded our investigations, to include additional markers in chromosome region 9q31-q34.1. Haplotype analysis revealed five recombinations that place the LGMD locus distal to the FCMD locus. The LGMD locus maps close to D9S934 (maximum multipoint LOD score 7.61) in a region that is estimated to...Continue Reading

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.
