Autosomal dominant distal myopathy: linkage to chromosome 14
Nigel G. Laing,B.A. Laing,C. Meredith,Steve D. Wilton,Frank L. Mastaglia,Peter Robbins,K. Honeyman,S. Dorosz,Byron Kakulas +8 more
TL;DR: It is probable that a gene for distal myopathy, MPD1, is located on chromosome 14, which should allow other investigators studying distalmyopathy families to test this region for linkage in other types of the disease, to confirm linkage or to demonstrate the likely genetic heterogeneity.

HLA associations with inclusion body myositis
TL;DR: The phenotype and phenotype data provide support for an autoimmune etiology for, and genetic predisposition to, IBM.
Autosomal dominant distal myopathy linkage on Chromosome 14
C. Meredith,B.A. Laing,Steve D. Wilton,Francis Mastaglia,Peter Robbins,H. Kozman,K. Honeyman,S. Dorosz,Byron Kakulas,Nigel G. Laing +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied a family with distal myopathy (MIM 160500) containing nine living affected individuals and found that the myopathy in this family is closest in clinical phenotype to that first described by Gowers in 1902.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative assessment of knee strength using hand-held myometry and isometric dynamometry in patients with inflammatory myopathy
TL;DR: Comparing the maximum isometric quadriceps and hamstrings torques using a hand-held myometer and a dynamometer (Kin-Com) and to compare make and break tests using myometry showed that in stronger quad riceps the myometer tests underestimated maximum torque as measured with the dynamometer, and that in weaker quadrices there was no difference in torque with the different methods.
