Abstract

CAPN3 encodes calpain-3, a calcium-activated skeletal muscle-specific protease. Pathogenic variants in CAPN3 are associated with autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMDR1/LGMD2A and LGMDD4, respectively). Patients present with weakness of the pelvic and shoulder girdle and elevated creatine kinase levels. Here, we report in detail on three children and one adult from four unrelated Israeli families of Iraqi Jewish descent with features of LGMDR1, who were found to harbor the same homozygous missense variant in CAPN3 , p.Gln123Lys. All subjects manifested lower limb weakness with onset in the first or second decades of life; the three children presented with toe walking and significantly elevated creatine kinase levels (6,000-21,000U/L). The variant affects an evolutionarily conserved amino acid in a conserved domain of the protein common to the calpain super family. We conclude that the p.Gln123Lys variant in CAPN3 is associated with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with a recognizable clinical phenotype. Furthermore, this variant likely represents a founder mutation in individuals of Iraqi Jewish ancestry. These findings can help guide workup for individuals presenting with suggestive features and should be considered in relevant population screening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Although the ketogenic diet (KD) has been widely accepted as a legitimate and successful therapy for epilepsy and other neurological disorders, its mechanism of action remains an enigma. The use of the KD causes major metabolic changes. The most significant of them seems to be the situation of chronic ketosis, but there are others as well, for instance, high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). These “primary” influences lead to “secondary”, in part adaptive, effects, for instance changes in mitochondrial density and gene expression. Clinically, the influences of the diet are considered as anticonvulsive and neuroprotective, although neuroprotection can also lead to prevention of seizures. Potential clinical implications of these mechanisms are discussed.

43. Glass transition in polymer molecules and networks.

Author

Kremer, F., Lagaly, G., Kilian, H. -G., Pietralla, M., Edwards, S. F., and Aharoni, S. M.

Abstract

The first part of the paper describes how rigid rods, i.e., liquid crystal polymers can be used as a physical system whose glass transition can be investigated with confidence. For this system the position of the transition and the Volger-Fulcher Law by which it is approached can be derived. The second part discusses the physics of such molecules giving examples of their chemical structure and the form of networks and fractals formed from them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
