Myopathies resulting from mutations in sarcomeric proteins

Current Opinion in Neurology
Carsten G Bönnemann, Nigel G Laing

Abstract

The past decade has seen the discovery of the major role that mutations in the protein components of the sarcomere plays as a cause of human muscle disease. An overview of the more precise molecular definitions of these diseases is timely. Recent findings include: the beginnings of an understanding of the role of the sarcomere in controlling muscle gene expression; the theoretical analysis of the increasing number of mutations identified in the skeletal muscle actin gene; the identification of mutations in myosin causing hereditary inclusion body myopathy and hyaline body myopathy and the identification of mutations in myotilin in myofibrillar myopathy. An increasing spectrum of human muscle diseases is being shown to be caused by mutations in proteins of all the major components of the sarcomere. Molecular analysis is providing a more accurate delineation of these diseases, but for the giant nebulin and titin genes, molecular diagnosis remains difficult. Treatment options for these disorders will only come through a deeper understanding of the sarcomere and of the pathogenesis of its disorders.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
