Autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in the Dysferlin gene have different disease names depending on the phenotype (proximal and distal).🧬🔬🧐
As it stands now, clinical studies, clinical trials, and treatments will be individualized by phenotype.😢
⬇️
In 2010, I learned that muscle diseases caused by Dysferlin gene mutations are given multiple distinct diagnostic names depending on their clinical phenotypes. Even today, many patients worldwide affected by this condition remain unaware of this fact—which means they do not realize they could be pursuing treatments together. I believe this lack of unified recognition is the single greatest disadvantage facing patients with Dysferlin gene mutations.
In 2000, Dr. Isabel Illa Sendra reported that " For example, it would be reasonable to use the term dysferlinopathies to describe all the diseases due to dysferlin." I fully support this view. Unifying the disease nomenclature will make it possible to efficiently and rationally conduct key initiatives—such as identifying total patient numbers, running natural history studies, applying for research grants and clinical trials, and developing therapeutic drugs.

One gene, Multiple disease names:
Differences in diagnostic nomenclature and classification systems across countries are causing patient confusion and slowing the pace of drug development, resulting in practical disadvantages. Non-standardized nomenclature remains a major obstacle to seamless data integration.
We recommend checking what disease names are used in government grant applications. We also need to check whether each country's research budget actually meets its needs.

डिस्फरलिनोपैथी उन मांसपेशियों की बीमारियों का एक साम��हिक नाम है जो डिस्फरलिन जीन में उत्परिवर्तन के कारण होती हैं। हालांकि, डिस्फरलिन जीन के उत्परिवर्तन से होने वाली इन बीमारियों के निदान के नाम (निश्चित निदान) उनके फेनोटाइप के आधार पर वर्गीकृत किए जाते हैं। इस कारण से, कई देशों में लोग यह नहीं जानते कि ये एक ही कारण वाले जीन से होने वाली मस्कुलर डिस्ट्रॉफी हैं और इनका उपचार एक साथ किया जा सकता है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप, इस बीमारी के बारे में सटीक ��िकित्सा जानकारी प्राप्त करना कठिन हो जाता है, जिससे समाज में इस बीमारी के प्रति समझ और ज्ञान की कमी होती है। यदि ऐसी ही स्थिति बनी रहती है, तो रोगियों, उनके परिवारों, डॉक्टरों, शोधकर्ताओं, चिकित्सा संस्थानों, दवा कंपनियों और सरकारी एजेंसियों के बीच भ्रम पैदा होने की आशंका है।

दुर्लभ बीमारी होने के बावजूद, हमारी बीमारी को इसके लक्षणों (फेनोटाइप) के आधार पर कई अलग-अलग नामों में वर्गीकृत किया गया है। इस कारण से, रोगियों की सटीक संख्या का पता लगाना अत्यंत कठिन है।
और रोगियों की वास्तविक संख्या को जानना बेहद मह��्वपूर्ण है। इसका कारण यह है कि क्लीनिकल ट्रायल (नैदानिक परीक्षण) के लिए प्रतिभागियों को सुचारू रूप से जुटाने के लिए हमें यह पता होना चाहिए कि किस तरह की स्थिति वाले कितने रोगी कहाँ हैं।
ऐसी अनिश्चित स्थिति में, क्या हम फार्मास्युटिकल कंपनियों की रुचि इस शोध में जगा पाएंगे? हमें यह समझना होगा कि भले ही संभावित उपचारों की खोज कर ली जाए, लेकिन वास्तव में दवा का निर्माण और उत्पादन फार्मास्युटि��ल कंपनियों द्वारा ही किया जाता है।
हम 'डिस्फरलिनोपैथी' को डिस्फरलिन जीन उत्परिवर्तन से होने वाली ��ांसपेशियों की बीमारियों के आधिकारिक और एकीकृत नाम के रूप में मान्यता दिलाने के लिए काम करेंगे। हम इस दिशा में आपके सहयोग का सादर अनुरोध करते हैं। 🫶

Dysferlinopathy, Dysferlin genindeki mutasyonlar tarafından neden olunan kas hastalıklarının genel adıdır. Ancak, Dysferlin geninin mutasyonları tarafından neden olunan kas hastalıklarının tanı adı (kesin tanı), fenotipe göre sınıflandırılmaktadır. Bu nedenle, birçok ülkede aynı neden geniyle ortaya çıkan kas distrofisi olduğu ve birlikte tedavi görebileceği konusunda bilgi sahibi olmayan kişiler bulunmaktadır. Bunun sonucunda, bu hastalıkla ilgili doğru tıbbi bilgilere ulaşım zorlaşmakta ve toplumda bu hastalığa yönelik anlayış ve bilgi eksikliğine yol açmaktadır. Bu haliyle devam ederse, hastalar, onların aileleri, doktorlar, araştırmacılar, sağlık kurumları, ilaç şirketleri ve hükümet kurumları gibi paydaşlar arasında bir karışıklık oluşmasından endişe edilmektedir.

Hastalığımız, nadir bir hastalık olmasına rağmen, fenotiplere göre birden fazla hastalık adına sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu nedenle, kesin hasta sayısını belirlemek zordur.

A disferlinopatia é um termo genérico para doenças musculares causadas por mutações no gene da disferlina. No entanto, o diagnóstico (diagnóstico definitivo) das doenças musculares causadas por mutações no gene da disferlina é classificado de acordo com o fenótipo. Por essa razão, em muitos países, há pessoas que não sabem que são distrofias musculares causadas pelo mesmo gene e que podem ser tratadas em conjunto. Consequentemente, torna-se difícil obter informações médicas precisas sobre esta doença, o que leva à falta de compreensão e conhecimento da mesma na sociedade. A preocupação é que, se a situação persistir, isso possa causar confusão entre pacientes, suas famílias, médicos, pesquisadores, instituições médicas, empresas farmacêuticas e agências governamentais.

La dysferlinopathie est un terme générique désignant un groupe de maladies musculaires causées par des mutations du gène de la dysferline. Cependant, le diagnostic définitif (le nom du diagnostic établi) des maladies musculaires causées par des mutations du gène de la dysferline est classé selon le phénotype. Par conséquent, dans de nombreux pays, des personnes ignorent qu'il s'agit d'une dystrophie musculaire causée par le même gène ou qu'elles peuvent recevoir un traitement conjoint. En conséquence, l'accès à des informations médicales précises sur cette maladie est difficile, ce qui conduit à un manque de compréhension et de connaissance de cette maladie dans la société. Si cette situation perdure, on craint qu'elle n'entraîne une confusion entre les patients, leurs familles, les médecins, les chercheurs, les établissements de santé, les sociétés pharmaceutiques et les agences gouvernementales, etc.

Bien que notre maladie soit rare, elle est classée sous plusieurs noms en fonction du phénotype. Il est donc difficile d'établir le nombre exact de patients. Or, il est absolument crucial de connaître ce nombre.

Dans cette situation, pouvons-nous susciter l'intérêt des entreprises pharmaceutiques pour la recherche ? De plus, même si des candidats-médicaments sont rapportés, ce sont les entreprises pharmaceutiques qui fabriquent réellement les médicaments.

La disferlinopatia è un termine generale che comprende le malattie muscolari causate da mutazioni nel gene della disferlina. Tuttavia, le diagnosi specifiche (diagnosi definitive) delle malattie muscolari causate da mutazioni nel gene della disferlina sono classificate in base al fenotipo. Di conseguenza, in molti Paesi, alcune persone non sono a conoscenza del fatto che queste siano distrofie muscolari causate dallo stesso gene e che possano ricevere un trattamento comune. Ciò rende difficile l'accesso a informazioni mediche precise su questa patologia, portando a una mancanza di comprensione e conoscenza del disturbo nella società. Si teme che, se la situazione persisterà, possa verificarsi confusione tra pazienti, le loro famiglie, medici, ricercatori, istituti medici, aziende farmaceutiche e agenzie governative.

・Distal anterior compartment myopathy (DACM)
Nonostante sia considerata una malattia rara, il fenotipo della nostra patologia è classificato in diverse denominazioni. Per questo motivo, è difficile avere un quadro preciso del numero esatto di pazienti. Tuttavia, è di estrema importanza conoscere il numero di pazienti. Questo perché, per reclutare agevolmente i partecipanti agli studi clinici, è fondamentale sapere dove si trovano, quali condizioni specifiche hanno e quanti sono i pazienti. In questa situazione, è possibile che le aziende farmaceutiche si interessino alla ricerca? Inoltre, anche se viene riportato un candidato terapeutico, sono le aziende farmaceutiche che si occupano effettivamente di produrre il farmaco.
Ci impegneremo affinché la Disferlinopatia (Dysferlinopathy) sia riconosciuta come la nomenclatura unificata per le miopatie causate dalle mutazioni del gene della Disferlina (Dysferlin). Vi preghiamo di fornire il vostro supporto e la vostra collaborazione.

Dysferlinopathy is a general term for muscle diseases caused by mutations in the Dysferlin gene. However, the diagnostic names (definitive diagnoses) of muscle diseases caused by Dysferlin gene mutations are classified by phenotype.Therefore, there are people in many countries who are unaware that muscular dystrophy is caused by the same causative gene and that they can receive treatment together. As a result, accurate medical information about this disease is difficult to obtain, leading to a lack of understanding and knowledge about the disease in society. If this continues, it will cause confusion among patients, their families, doctors, researchers, medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and others.

・Distal anterior compartment myopathy (DACM)
Our disease is categorized under multiple different disease names based on its phenotype, despite being a rare disease. This makes it difficult to ascertain the accurate number of patients. Furthermore, knowing the patient count is critically important. This is because, in order to smoothly recruit participants for clinical trials, we must first understand precisely how many patients, with which specific conditions, are located and where. Given this challenging situation, how can we generate research interest from pharmaceutical companies? After all, even when a promising therapeutic candidate is identified, it is the pharmaceutical companies that are responsible for the actual drug development and manufacturing.
We will work towards establishing Dysferlinopathy as the unified name for muscle diseases caused by mutations in the Dysferlin gene. We kindly ask for your cooperation in this endeavor.
To all those worldwide with a Dysferlin gene mutation: Whether their condition is mild or severe, everyone has the capacity to take action. Action is the only way to effect change.

When expressing the global definition of a rare disease, which is 'fewer than 5 people per 10,000,' as a percentage (%), it comes out to less than 0.05%. In Turkey, the total population in 2024 is reported to be 85.66 million. If the number of LGMD2B patients is approximately 1,500, the percentage is about 0.00117%. I don't believe this number of patients can be considered large. Have any papers or reports regarding this patient count been published? Only patients who have been identified as having the dysferlin gene through genetic testing are included in the actual patient count and are eligible to participate in clinical trials.
Ao expressar a definição mundial de uma doença rara, que é 'menos de 5 pessoas por 10.000', em percentagem (%), o resultado é inferior a 0,05%. Na Turquia, a população total em 2024 é reportada em 85,66 milhões. Se considerarmos que o número de pacientes com LGMD2B é de aproximadamente 1.500 pessoas, a proporção é de cerca de 0,00117%.

Despite being a rare disease, our illness is categorized under multiple disease names based on its phenotype. Consequently, it is difficult to accurately determine the exact patient count.
For example, in a lecture regarding LGMD research, the number of patients with LGMDR2/2B is reported, but because it does not include Miyoshi, DMAT, DACM, and others, the reported number is lower than the actual patient count. Under these circumstances, would it be possible to interest pharmaceutical companies in the research? Furthermore, even when a therapeutic drug candidate is reported, it is the pharmaceutical companies that actually manufacture the medicine.
Furthermore, it is extremely important to know the patient numbers. The reason for this is that in order to quickly recruit subjects for clinical trials, it is necessary to know where the patients are, what their conditions are, and how many there are.
To all those worldwide with a Dysferlin gene mutation: To succeed in a clinical trial, we must solve the issues of time, research funding, patient cooperation, and disease nomenclature (definitive diagnosis name).
