EARLY DETECTION OF CARDIAC INVOLVEMENT IN MIYOSHI MYOPATHY: 2D STRAIN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND LATE GADOLINIUM ENHANCEMENT CARDIOVASCULAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE

Early detection of cardiac involvement in Miyoshi myopathy: 2D strain echocardiography and late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Abstract Background Miyoshi myopathy (MM) is an autosomal recessive distal myopathy characterized by early adult onset.Cardiomyopathy is a major clinical manifestation in other muscular dystrophies and an important prognostic factor.Although dysferlin is highly expressed in cardiac muscle, the effect of dysferlin deficiency in cardiac muscle has no

Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of the Amino Acid Permease Gene Family in Soybean

Amino acid permeases (AAPs) play important roles in transporting amino acids in plant species, leading to increased low-nitrogen tolerance, grain yield, or protein content.However, very few AAPs have been characterized in soybean (Glycine max).In this study, we scanned the soybean reference genome and identified a total of 36 AAP genes (named GmAAP
