Question
Answer
show (1)Pure motor involvement (weakness) (2)Proximal weakness (3)Absence of autonomic dysfunction (4)Muscle atrophy (5)Pseudohypertrophy (6)Myotonia (7)Contractures  
🗑
show (1)Mixed motor and sensory involvement (2)distal weakness (3)may have some autonomic dysfunction  
🗑
show DMD gene which encodes a protein called dystrophin is mutated. Most mutations are deletions or duplications of one or more exons in the dystrophin gene, often resulting in a frameshift mutation.  
🗑
show X-linked inheritance. DMD gene is found on the X chromosome.  
🗑
A myopathy that typically manifests by 5 years of age with weakness and evetually wheelchair dependence by age of 10-12. Death occurs due to respriatory insufficiency and cardiac failure by the early 20s.   show
🗑
show Limb girdle dystrophies  
🗑
Myopathy associated with mutation of merosin (laminin-2)   show
🗑
show (1)Dystrophin (2)4 different sarcoglycans (3)laminin-2  
🗑
show Myotonic dystrophy  
🗑
Inheritance pattern of myotonic dystrophy   show
🗑
show Trinucleotide repeat expansion (CTS) in 3'UTR of myotonin kinase. (<30 repeats is normal, >50 repeats results in disease)  
🗑
show Dermatomyositis  
🗑
Pathogenesis of dermatomyositis   show
🗑
A chronic inflammatory myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness and a higher incidence in females. This condition is responsive to steroid treatment.   show
🗑
A chronic inflammatory myositis with a higher incidence in males with typical distal muscle involvement. Histologic features include rimmed vacuoles and/or inclusions. This condition is not responsive to steroid treatments.   show
🗑
Enzyme deficient in Mcardle's disease   show
🗑
Inheritence pattern of Mcardle's disease   show
🗑
Clinical features of Mcardle's disease   show
🗑
show Acid maltase deficiency  
🗑
Inheritance pattern of Pompe's disease   show
🗑
What are the 3 types of Pompe's disease   show
🗑
show Infantile onset Pompe's disease  
🗑
show Childhood onset Pompe's disease  
🗑
show Lipid storage myopathies  
🗑
show Kearns-Sayre syndrome  
🗑
show False. Mutations in both nuclear and miotchondrial genes cause mitochondrial myopathies.  
🗑
show Maternal inheritance, since the oocyte contrbiutes the mitochondria to the embryo  
🗑
An autoimmune disease with antibodies against acetylcholine receptors.   show
🗑
An autoimmune disease with anti-presynaptic calcium channel antibodies. The autoantibodies are usually a paraneoplastic syndrome.   show
🗑
Symptoms of peripheral neuropathies   show
🗑
show (1)muscle atrophy (2)lower motor neuron signs (3)loss of tendon reflexes  
🗑
Wallerian degeneration   show
🗑
Regnerating clusters   show
🗑
(T or F) Peripheral nerves can regenerate if the scaffolding of the nerve is intact.   show
🗑
show Response of Schwann cells to any chronic demyelinating process, with repeated rounds of demyelination/remyelination.  
🗑
Treatment for Guillain-Barre Syndrome   show
🗑
An acute onset neuropathy that may precede with Campylobacter jejuni infection and may result in respiratory failure.   show
🗑
show Lymphocytic and macrophage infiltrates in early phases and onion bulbs in the end-stage of the disease  
🗑
What is the morphologic features of diabetic neuropathy   show
🗑
show Diatal, sensory polyneuropathy in a glove and stocking pattern  
🗑
show Neurogenic (nerve or spinal) disorder  
🗑
What type of neuromuscular disorder is characterized by high spontaneous motor unit activity on EMG?   show
🗑
Neuropathy characterized by asthma and progressive weakness   show
🗑
Function of connexin 32   show
🗑
What neuropathy is caused by a point mutation in connexin 32?   show
🗑
show X-linked dominant inheritance  
🗑
show Charcot-Marie Tooth Neuropathy 1A  
🗑
show Hereditary Neuropathy with Pressure Palsies  
🗑
show Hereditary Neuropathy with Pressure Palsies  
🗑
show Autosomal dominant  
🗑
