Limb-Girdle Muscle Weakness Limb-Girdle Muscle Weakness Overview Limb-girdle muscle weakness (LGMW) is a term describing the weakness pattern encompassing a group of diseases associated with weakness and wasting of predominantly proximal muscles of the pelvic and shoulder girdles. Diagnosis is challenging as many symptoms, like progressive muscle weakness in the shoulders, pelvis, and lower limbs, as well as elevations in creatine kinase, can overlap.1 LGMW encompasses a heterogeneous group of disorders (limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs), and other myopathies) that vary in severity and age of onset and can be classified into 2 main groups, depending on the inheritance pattern: LGMD1 is autosomal dominant, Incidence and LGMD2 is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.2 There are very few pathognomonic features of LGMDs • Estimated prevalence that clearly identify one from the other, or even from other diseases characterized by muscle weakness. ranging from 2.4-7.3 per 100 000 (Becker) to 0.07 per 100 000 Late Onset Pompe Disease (LOPD) shares considerable phenotypic overlap with the LGMDs, presenting with (LGMD2D, E) to 0.43 progressive proximal weakness (particularly pelvic girdle), scapular winging, feeding/swallowing difficulties and per 100 000 (LGMD2I)2 respiratory insufficiency. Pompe is an autosomal recessive disorder, caused by mutations in theGAA gene and • Pompe disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of LGMDs.3,4 has an estimated incidence 1 in 40 0005 Diagnosis When a diagnosis of LGMD is suspected, ruling out other diseases, such as Pompe disease, can shorten the diagnostic delay.2,4 The following evaluations may support a diagnosis of limb-girdle muscle weakness: Clinical Findings • A medical history to determine age of onset and a family history, along with a physical examination can distinguish patterns of weakness specific to certain LGMD subtypes6 Laboratory Testing • Serum creatine kinase levels are typically elevated secondary to muscle degeneration/regeneration6, 7 Inheritance • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows for the rapid sequencing of multiple genes in parallel and can more easily determine LGMD subtypes6 • Most subtypes of • Muscle biopsy3,6,7: Morphology, immunostaining/immunoblotting and biochemical testing may be helpful or LGMW are autosomal diagnostic, though many providers are electing to use NGS testing panels before more invasive testing recessive (LGMD2A-Q, Pompe)4 • Several rare subtypes are Other autosomal dominant (LGMD1A-E)4 • Electrophysiology and MRIs may be useful in the differential diagnosis and to rule out other neuromuscular diseases6 • A few myopothies • Electromyography (EMG) findings suggestive of LGMW include myotonic or pseudomyotonic discharges. are X-linked (Becker, EMG in LGMD may show short-duration, small-amplitude motor units with early recruitment in weak muscles; EGMD-X1, -X2)4 findings may be subtle in mild cases2 • Pulmonary function testing including spirometry and maximal inspiratory/expiratory force in the upright and supine positions may help narrow the differential diagnosis2 SGUSMA.PD.18.09.0536 Exp: 9/25/19 Sanofi Genzyme does not review or control the content of non-Sanofi Genzyme websites.

    GeneQuery™ Human Skeletal Muscle Contraction and Muscular Dystrophies qPCR Array Kit (GQH-SKC) Catalog #GK065 Product Description ScienCell's GeneQuery™ Human Skeletal Muscle Contraction and Muscular Dystrophies qPCR Array (GQH-SKC) profiles 88 key genes involved in the contraction of skeletal muscle. There are three major muscle types in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle is a striated muscle that relaxes and contracts to generate movement and force in the body. Of the three main muscle types, it is the only one under voluntary control. Neuromuscular diseases involving skeletal muscle dysfunction are very diverse and range from myopathies to muscular dystrophies. Below are brief examples of how included genes may be grouped according to their function in skeletal muscle biology: • Myogenesis: MYOD1, MYOG, PAX3, UTRN, MYF6, MDTN • Contractility: MYH2, SLC2A4, LMNA, DYSF, APT2A1 • Sarcomere Assembly : NEB, TRIM63, TTN, CAPN3, ACTA1 • Muscle Atrophy: NOS2, TRIM63, FOXO1, MAPK8, AKT1 • Muscular Dystrophy Development: POMT2, FKRP, ANO5, FRG1, SGCB Note : all gene names follow their official symbols by the Human Genome Organization Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC). GeneQuery™ qPCR array kits are qPCR ready in a 96-well plate format, with each well containing one primer set that can specifically recognize and efficiently amplify a target gene's cDNA. The carefully designed primers ensure that: (i) the optimal annealing temperature in qPCR analysis is 65°C (with 2 mM Mg 2+ , and no DMSO); (ii) the primer set recognizes all known transcript variants of target gene, unless otherwise indicated; and (iii) only one gene is amplified. Each primer set has been validated by qPCR with melt curve analysis, and gel electrophoresis.

  • 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).

  • 2021 Code Changes Reference Guide
    Boston University Medical Group 2021 CPT Code Changes Reference Guide Page 1 of 51 Background Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) was created by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1966. It is designed to be a means of effective and dependable communication among physicians, patients, and third-party payers. CPT provides a uniform coding scheme that accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. CPT is used for public and private reimbursement systems; development of guidelines for medical care review; as a basis for local, regional, and national utilization comparisons; and medical education and research. CPT Category I codes describe procedures and services that are consistent with contemporary medical practice. Category I codes are five-digit numeric codes. CPT Category II codes facilitate data collection for certain services and test results that contribute to positive health outcomes and quality patient care. These codes are optional and used for performance management. They are alphanumeric five-digit codes with the alpha character F in the last position. CPT Category III codes represent emerging technologies. They are alphanumeric five-digit codes with the alpha character T in the last position. The CPT Editorial Panel, appointed by the AMA Board of Trustees, is responsible for maintaining and updating the CPT code set. Purpose The AMA makes annual updates to the CPT code set, effective January 1. These updates include deleted codes, revised codes, and new codes. It’s important for providers to understand the code changes and the impact those changes will have to systems, workflow, reimbursement, and RVUs. This document is meant to assist you with this by providing a summary of the changes; a detailed breakdown of this year’s CPT changes by specialty, and HCPCS Updates for your reference.
