Background: Inclusion Body Myositis is an acquired muscle disease. Its pathogenesis is unclear due to the co-existence of inflammation, muscle degeneration and mitochondrial dysfunction. We aimed to provide a more advanced understanding of the disease by combining multi-omics analysis with prior knowledge.

Delandistrogene moxeparvovec is an rAAVrh74 vector-based gene transfer therapy that delivers a transgene encoding delandistrogene moxeparvovec micro-dystrophin, an engineered, functional form of dystrophin shown to stabilize or slow disease progression in DMD. It is approved in the US and in other select countries. Two serious adverse event cases of immune-mediated myositis (IMM) were reported in the phase Ib ENDEAVOR trial (NCT04626674).

Meta-analyses uncover the genetic architecture of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies.

Objective: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (myositis, IIMs) are rare, systemic autoimmune disorders that lead to muscle inflammation, weakness, and extra-muscular manifestations, with a strong genetic component influencing disease development and progression. Previous genome-wide association studies identified loci associated with IIMs. In this study, we imputed data from two prior genome-wide myositis studies and analyzed the largest myositis dataset to date to identify novel risk loci and susceptibility genes associated with IIMs and its clinical subtypes.

Inflammatory Myopathies and Autoimmune Gluten-related Disorders: A Scoping Review of Pathophysiological Interconnections and Hypothesis.

Recent Adv Inflamm Allergy Drug Discov

October 2024

Department of Rheumatology, Dermatology and Infectious Diseases, Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, 0424 Oslo, Norway.

Introduction: Anecdotal reports describe patients with concurrent idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and celiac disease (CeD) in whom the introduction of a gluten-free diet led to dramatic improvement of myositis. We first systematically reviewed all peer-reviewed publications on concomitant IIM and duodenal biopsy-verified CeD. The collected evidence was suggestive of associations between myositis disease activity and gluten exposure in some patients with IIM-CeD.

Article Synopsis
  • Polymyositis is a rare complication of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) that primarily affects muscle tissues, particularly in patients after stem cell transplants.
  • A 23-year-old male with chronic myeloid leukemia experienced severe muscle weakness and respiratory issues six months post-transplant, leading to the diagnosis of GvHD polymyositis through various tests including muscle biopsies and imaging.
  • The patient responded positively to treatments like corticosteroids and extracorporeal photopheresis, underscoring the need for prompt diagnosis and a collaborative approach to managing this condition.
