What is in the Myopathy Literature? (PubMed, J Clin Neuromuscul Dis)
Next, studies of disease-modifying or potential disease-modifying therapies for inherited myopathies are addressed including the encouraging follow-up study of gene replacement therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a negative trial of tamoxifen in DMD, and the complex topic of gene therapy for X-linked myotubular myopathy...Other papers regarding GNE myopathy and long-term outcome of enzyme replacement therapy in infantile onset Pompe disease round out that section. Updates on the expanding spectra of anoctamin-5 myopathies, caveolinopathies, and congenital and mylagic myopathies from CACNA1S mutations follow as well as extensive discussion of Valosin containing protein proteinopathies, comprehensive management of Becker muscular dystrophy, and gastrointestinal complications in adult DMD.
