Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1539: Danon Disease: Entire LAMP2 Gene Deletion with Unusual Clinical Presentation & mdash;Case Report and Review of the Literature
This report describes a 42-year-old father and his 3-year-old daughter presenting with mild manifestations of the disease. The father has normal intellectual development and normal physical activity. At the age of 13, he was diagnosed with mild ventricular pre-excitation known as Wolf–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPWs), very mild and mostly asymptomatic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular hypertrophy, and at about the age of 25 presented with visual impairment due to cone–rod dystrophy. His daughter showed normal development and very mild asymptomatic electrocardiographic WPWs abnorma...

Comprehensive pathological and genetic investigation of three young adult myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients with sudden unexpected death
Conclusion and relevanceThe present study showed varied heart morphology in young adults with DM1 and sudden death. Synergistic effects of various genetic factors other than CTG repeats may increase the risk of sudden cardiac death in DM1 patients, even if signs of cardiac and skeletal muscle involvement are mild. Comprehensive genetic investigations, other than CTG repeat assessment, may be useful to estimate the risk of sudden cardiac death in DM1 patients.

Electrocardiographic features of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a clinically common X-linked recessive myopathy, which is caused by mutation of the gene encoding dystrophin on chromosome Xp21. The onset of heart injury in children with ...

Genome-wide Association Study of Susceptibility to Particulate Matter –Associated QT Prolongation
Conclusions: The findings suggest that biologically plausible genetic factors may alter susceptibility to PM10-associated QT prolongation in populations protected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Independent replication and functional characterization are necessary to validate our findings. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP347 Received: 11 April 2016 Revised: 07 September 2016 Accepted: 19 September 2016 Published: 08 June 2017 Address correspondence to R.

Cardiac involvement in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.
Abstract Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) are X-linked muscular diseases responsible for over 80% of all muscular dystrophies. Cardiac disease is a common manifestation, not necessarily related to the degree of skeletal myopathy; it may be the predominant manifestation with or without any other evidence of muscular disease. Death is usually due to ventricular dysfunction, heart block or malignant arrhythmias. Not only DMD/BMD patients, but also female carriers may present cardiac involvement. Clinically overt heart failure in dystrophinopathies may be delayed or absent, due to relative physical ina...
