AFM-TELETHON 2011Muscle responds to a wide variety of stressors by hypertrophic growth of myocytes. In various muscular disorders, this hypertrophic response may temporarily serve a compensatory role but becomes detrimental when prohypertrophic stimulation persi[...]Article
The McArdle s disease (GSD V, MIM#232600) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder of glycogen metabolism. There are several mutations in the myophosphorylase gene (PYGM, MIM#608455). There is a clinical heterogeneity, with a wide clinica[...]Article
Centronuclear myopathies (CNM) are a group of congenital disorders characterized by hypotonia and typical skeletal muscle biopsies showing small rounded fibres with centralized nuclei. Three forms have been documented: the X-linked form with mut[...]Article
4th International Congress of Myology, 4ème colloque international de Myologie (9-13 mai 2011; Lille (France)) ; Portilho D ; Mendes F ; Costa M ; Butler Browne G ; Garcia J ; Savino W ; Mermelstein C | AFM-TELETHON | 2011Skeletal muscle differentiation is a multi-step process that begins with the commitment of mononucleated precursors that withdraw from cell cycle. These myoblasts elongate while aligning to each other, guided by the recognition between their mem[...]Article
Ljubicic V ; Ljubicic V ; Lunde J ; Boudreault L ; Khogali S ; Burt M ; Renaud JM | AFM-TELETHON | 2011A therapeutic approach for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is to upregulate utrophin levels in skeletal muscle in an effort to compensate for the lack of dystrophin. We have previously hypothesized that promotion of the slow, oxidative myogeni[...]Article
SBMA is rare, adult onset, X-linked recessive disease caused by CAG repeat expansion in AR gene. The main symptoms due to lower motor neuron involvement comprise slowly progressive weakness of extremity and bulbar muscles, fasciculation, cramps [...]Article

These variations, 4[...]Article
AFM-TELETHON 2011Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a recessive autosomal disorder, is one of the most common genetic causes of death in childhood. It is caused by mutations of the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene. We previously reported that Lentiviral vector expre[...]Article
4th International Congress of Myology, 4ème colloque international de Myologie (9-13 mai 2011; Lille (France)) ; Morgane G ; Antoine M ; Camille L ; Cecile M ; Marc P ; Remi V | AFM-TELETHON | 2011Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an RNA-mediated disorder caused by a non-coding CTG repeat expansion that provokes functional alteration of CUG-binding proteins. Accordingly, several genes with misregulated alternate splicing of pre-mRNA have[...]Article
AFM-TELETHON 2011Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a group of inherited neuromuscular junction (NMJ) disorders arising as result of mutations in different NMJ proteins. CMS are a very heterogeneous group of disorders; at present, mutations in more than 1[...]Article
Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a recessive disorder characterized by permanent muscle stiffness and spontaneous activity in the rest electromyogram that appears during childhood and slowly progress until adulthood. SJS results from hypomorphi[...]Article
Disorganization of the desmin network is associated with cardiac and skeletal myopathies characterized by accumulation of desmin-containing aggregates in the cells. Multiple associations of intermediate filament proteins form a network to increa[...]Article
Nguyen K ; Bernard R ; Walrafen P ; Attarian S ; Hayashi Y ; Pouget J ; Nishino I ; Krahn M ; Helmbacher F | AFM-TELETHON | 2011Facio-scapulo-humeral dystrophy (FSHD), including muscle and non-muscle features, is usually associated with the contraction of a repeat array (D4Z4) in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q (4q35). Because of a non-pathogenic variant of 4q a[...]Article
Foust K ; McGovern V ; Poresnsky P ; Bevan A ; Duque S ; Le T ; Iyer C ; Laporte A ; Alwine I ; Mitrpant C ; Wilton S ; Kaspar B | AFM-TELETHON | 2011Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by loss of the SMN1 gene and retention of SMN2 which results in low SMN protein levels. We have mimicked this situation in mice creating mice with SMA. SMA mice can be corrected by expression of SMN in the[...]Article
Moraux A ; Costiou P ; Moullec S ; Servais L ; Le Guiner C ; Montus M ; Moullier P ; Fromes Y ; Voit T | AFM-TELETHON | 2011Golden Retriever Muscular Dystrophy (GRMD) is a very suitable animal model related to dystrophin deficiency. The phenotype of dogs is very close to the disease pattern in humans. Innovative therapies are thus being tested on dogs before a transf[...]Article
Canal A ; Ollivier G ; Decostre V ; Josserand E ; Alberti C ; Taoui I ; Simon D | AFM-TELETHON | 2011Unless neuromuscular maturation during growth is a key element, it has been poorly documented with respect to the biological development of children. The strength generation capacity of the muscles is one of the main maturation features. Most of[...]Article
Tanganyika-de Winter C ; van Putten M ; Karnaoek T ; van Deutekom J ; van Ommen GJ | AFM-TELETHON | 2011Antisense-mediated reading frame restoration is one of the most promising therapeutic approaches for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It uses antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) to induce exon skipping during pre-mRNA splicing of mutated dystrop[...]Article
