A missense mutation in the alphaB-crystallin chaperone gene causes a desmin-related myopathy.

TL;DR: These results are the first to identify a defect in a molecular chaperone as a cause for an inherited human muscle disorder, and an R120G missense mutation in CRYAB that co-segregates with the disease phenotype in this family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane topology and mitochondrial targeting of mitofusins, ubiquitous mammalian homologs of the transmembrane GTPase Fzo

TL;DR: Mfn2 can cluster active mitochondria in the perinuclear region independently of the cytoskeleton, bring mitochondrial membranes into close contact and modify mitochondrial structure, without disturbing the integrity of the inner and outer membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutation in the Human Acetylcholinesterase-Associated Collagen Gene, COLQ, Is Responsible for Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome with End-Plate Acetylcholinesterase Deficiency (Type Ic)

TL;DR: A large family comprising 11 siblings, 6 of whom are affected by a mild form of CMS-Ic, is studied, finding that the patients present a homozygous missense mutation, Y431S, in the conserved C-terminal domain of COLQ, thought to disturb the attachment of collagen-tailed AChE to the NMJ, thus constituting the first genetic defect causing CMS- Ic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological changes in muscle fibers in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy

TL;DR: The study of muscle biopsies of 29 cases of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy showed the two main morphological features of this disease: rimmed vacuoles and intranuclear inclusions, which are the morphological marker of OPMD and their finding in a muscle biopsy allows the exact diagnosis of this Disease.
