  • Genetic Mutations and Mechanisms in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
    Genetic mutations and mechanisms in dilated cardiomyopathy Elizabeth M. McNally, … , Jessica R. Golbus, Megan J. Puckelwartz J Clin Invest. 2013;123(1):19-26. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI62862. Review Series Genetic mutations account for a significant percentage of cardiomyopathies, which are a leading cause of congestive heart failure. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cardiac output is limited by the thickened myocardium through impaired filling and outflow. Mutations in the genes encoding the thick filament components myosin heavy chain and myosin binding protein C (MYH7 and MYBPC3) together explain 75% of inherited HCMs, leading to the observation that HCM is a disease of the sarcomere. Many mutations are “private” or rare variants, often unique to families. In contrast, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is far more genetically heterogeneous, with mutations in genes encoding cytoskeletal, nucleoskeletal, mitochondrial, and calcium-handling proteins. DCM is characterized by enlarged ventricular dimensions and impaired systolic and diastolic function. Private mutations account for most DCMs, with few hotspots or recurring mutations. More than 50 single genes are linked to inherited DCM, including many genes that also link to HCM. Relatively few clinical clues guide the diagnosis of inherited DCM, but emerging evidence supports the use of genetic testing to identify those patients at risk for faster disease progression, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia.

  • Fish Mutant, Where Is Thy Phenotype?
    PERSPECTIVE Fish mutant, where is thy phenotype? Darius Balciunas* Department of Biology, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America * [email protected] The field of genetics emerged as a study of the inheritance of desirable or otherwise interesting traits. Mutations were characterized as recessive or dominant, assigned to complementation groups, mapped, and finally, the affected genes were identified. By default, recessive mutations could only be isolated in genes that played an important role in the biological process of inter- est, be it pea color or segmentation pattern of the fruit fly embryo. As methodologies to mutate specific genes in various model systems were developed, scien- tists began to employ reverse genetics, whereby a gene of interest is selected and a mutant is generated. Ideally, the mutant displays a phenotype that can be studied (green panels in Fig 1). Such best-case scenarios pose the danger of confirmation bias ([1] and references therein). It may therefore be prudent to validate the phenotype by engineering an independent mutant allele. This is especially straightforward in zebrafish, given that targeted mutagenesis using CRISPR/Cas9 requires relatively little effort [2±4]. In zebrafish, the phenotype may also be confirmed by performing knockdown using morpholino oligonucleotides [5±6]. a1111111111 Real experiments rarely follow best-case scenarios, and very frequently, mutants generated a1111111111 by reverse genetics fail to display overt phenotypes. Are the majority of protein-coding genes a1111111111 indeed not required, often despite a very high degree of evolutionary conservation?

  • Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
    www.ChildLab.com 800-934-6575 LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY What is Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy? Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of hereditary disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness and wasting of the shoulders and pelvis (hips). There are at least 13 different genes that cause LGMD, each associated with a different subtype. Depending on the subtype of LGMD, the age of onset is variable (childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood) and can affect other muscles of the body. Many persons with LGMD eventually need the assistance of a wheelchair, and currently there is no cure. How is LGMD inherited? LGMD can be inherited by autosomal dominant (AD) or autosomal recessive (AR) modes. The AR subtypes are much more common than the AD types. Of the AR subtypes, LGMD2A (calpain-3) is the most common (30% of cases). LGMD2B (dysferlin) accounts for 20% of cases and the sarcoglycans (LGMD2C-2F) as a group comprise 25%-30% of cases. The various subtypes represent the different protein deficiencies that can cause LGMD. What testing is available for LGMD? Diagnosis of the LGMD subtypes requires biochemical and genetic testing. This information is critical, given that management of the disease is tailored to each individual and each specific subtype. Establishing the specific LGMD subtype is also important for determining inheritance and recurrence risks for the family. The first step in diagnosis for muscular dystrophy is usually a muscle biopsy. Microscopic and protein analysis of the biopsy can often predict the type of muscular dystrophy by analyzing which protein(s) is absent. A muscle biopsy will allow for targeted analysis of the appropriate LGMD gene(s) and can rule out the diagnosis of the more common dystrophinopathies (Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies).

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a powerful vertebrate model to study innate immune function and host-pathogen interactions as the function of neutrophils and other phagocytes can be characterized in vivo. Preliminary studies have shown an increase in neutrophil respiratory burst activity to eliminate the invading pathogen, yet little is known of all of the mechanisms involved in neutrophil function.

The phenotype of muscular dystrophy is an endpoint that arises from a diverse set of genetic pathways. Genes associated with muscular dystrophies encode proteins of the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix, and the sarcomere and Z band, as well as nuclear membrane components. Because muscle has such distinctive structural and regenerative properties, many of the genes implicated in these disorders target pathways unique to muscle or more highly expressed in muscle.
