Extractions: e-mail: brownj@mail.medicine.uiowa.edu Release: July 25, 2002 Studies Find Basis For Brain Defects In Some Muscular Dystrophies Piecing together a biochemical and genetic puzzle, University of Iowa researchers and their colleagues have revealed a new molecular mechanism that appears to be the root cause of a subset of muscular dystrophies. Most muscular dystrophies, as the name suggests, weaken and destroy muscles. However, dystrophies such as Fukuyama Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, Walker-Warburg Syndrome (WWS) and Muscle-Eye-Brain (MEB) disease also involve brain abnormalities that cause severe mental retardation in patients. "They are an interesting group of dystrophies because they affect more than just muscle," said Kevin Campbell, Ph.D., the Roy J. Carver Chair of Physiology and Biophysics and interim head of the department, UI professor of neurology, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator. The results of two new studies by Campbell and his colleagues, which appear in the July 25 issue of the journal Nature, provide new diagnostic tools that will help physicians make precise diagnoses and accurate prognoses for patients with these congenital muscular dystrophies. The lead authors of the two papers are Dan Michele, Ph.D., a UI postdoctoral fellow in physiology and biophysics and neurology, and Steven Moore, M.D., Ph.D., UI professor of pathology and a staff physician with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Iowa City.

Extractions: Significant Items in Senate Appropriations Committee Report FY 2004 Budget The following section represents FY 2003 Congressional requirements for reports and significant items derived from Senate Report 107-216. These actions discussed below are contingent on inclusion of similar language and funding in the final FY 2003 appropriations and related reports. Additional items may be transmitted at a later date as a result of the final Conference report. Item Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - The Committee urges NIAMS to intensify its research into the muscular dystrophies, and to continue working closely with the NINDS to identify collaborative opportunities to advance basic, clinical, and translational research into treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In addition, the Committee encourages NIAMS to coordinate with the NINDS and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to develop strategic research priorities for basic and applied research in the Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. (p. 128) Action taken or to be taken Item Gender Differences in Musculoskeletal Biology - Recent scientific advances have begun to make it possible to understand underlying gender-dependent differences that contribute to differences in disease incidence and severity between males and females. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis are expressed to a greater extent in females. The Committee encourages NIAMS to work to identify the extent of these gender differences in musculoskeletal disorders and develop a plan for addressing the questions that require further research.

The disease is progressive and may involve other muscles over a period of time. This is a large group of genetic diseases featuring muscle weakness and wasting (muscular dystrophy). Most are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, but some are autosomal dominant. In several cases now the genes are known for this group of diseases. In a few cases the gene causing the disease remains to be discovered. Typically, onset of pelvic muscle weakness (difficulty standing from a sitting position without using arms, climbing stairs) in childhood to young adulthood. Later there is the onset of shoulder weakness with progression to significant loss of mobility or wheelchair dependence over the next 20-30 years. The risk is having a family member with muscular dystrophy.

Extractions: 5. Cardiomyopathy, and 6. Myoglobinuria. In 66% of affected males, a deletion or duplication involving one or more exons of the dystrophin gene causes the disease. The remaining cases are caused by point mutations in the dystrophin gene. Due to the high new mutation rate, the frequent occurrence of germline mosaicism, and the high frequency of intragenic recombination, linkage analysis on families is subject to error. Obtaining a definitive genetic diagnosis by direct DNA analysis is therefore most accurate in patients with the disease. Genetic analysis is performed by multiplex DNA amplification. Our lab tests only males who are suspected of having a dystrophinopathy , with a detection of >80% for dystrophin gene deletions, which accounts for 45-50% of all cases. This test is 99.9% accurate, with a positive predictive value of 99.7% when a deletion is observed. Blood 5-10 ml whole blood in an EDTA ( purple top ) or ACD ( yellow top ) tube.

Extractions: Muscular dystrophies are a group of genetically transmitted diseases, characterised by progressive degeneration of different muscle groups. Muscular dystrophies are a group of unrelated diseases each with a different genetic trait and clinical manifestations. Some may be severe while others are mild expressing themselves at different periods of life. They are distinguished from other neuromuscular diseases by the following four obligatory criteria (this would exclude neurogenic diseases e.g. spinal muscular atrophy and non hereditary myopathies): The muscle groups most commonly involved are skeletal muscles, although smooth and cardiac muscle may also be affected in some conditions. The most common muscular dystrophy is known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Other muscular dystrophies include; Becker muscular dystrophy Congenital muscular dystrophy Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy Myotonic muscular dystrophy This article deals only with DMD.

Extractions: Author contact details For many years, cell pathologists regarded the nucleus as little more than a repository for the genome and attendant mRNA synthesis. However, it has recently emerged that several disease states are caused by defects in proteins specific to the nucleus, thereby initiating interest in the possibility of diverse functionality associated with this organelle. Perhaps not surprisingly, some of the first diseases found to involve nuclear proteins were the disorders of growth and differentiation, resulting from defective tumour suppressor genes, DNA-repair genes or proto-oncogenes ( Table 1 ). Further discussion of the functions of these proteins is beyond the scope of this article, and the reader is referred to reviews listed in Table 1 In 1994, an Italian research group (Ref.
