1. Clinical and genetic studies of three inherited skeletal disorders
Sammanfattning : Mutations in genes of importance for cartilage development may lead to skeletal malformations, chondroskeletal dysfunction and increased susceptibility to degenerative joint disease. Characterization of these mutations and identification of molecular pathways for the corresponding gene products have contributed to our understanding of mechanisms regulating skeletal patterning, endochondral ossification and joint formation.

2. Human Skeletal Muscle : a basic proteomic approach
Sammanfattning : The trapezius is a muscle of clinical interest due to its susceptibility to chronic work related musculoslteletal disorders. The mechanisms underlying these conditions are not fully understood. LÄS MER
3. Ultrasonic Quantification of Skeletal Muscle Dynamics : Feasibility and Limitations
Sammanfattning : Pain and disorders of the human skeletal muscles are one of the most common reasons for medical consultations in the western countries today and there is a great need to improve both the understanding and treatment of several different muscular conditions.Techniques describing the muscle function in vivo are often limited by either their invasiveness or lack of spatial resolution.

4. Neuromuscular disorders in childhood. Epidemiology and characterization of a new myopathy
Sammanfattning : Neuromuscular disorders can be subdivided into anterior horn cell disorders, neuropathies, myasthenic disorders and myopathies. Some multisystem disorders, such as myotonic dystrophy and mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, are traditionally also included. LÄS MER
5. Two new disorders of glycogen metabolism
Sammanfattning : Glycogen is a polymer of glucose and serves as a source of rapidly available energy. Glycogen synthesis is initiated by autoglucosylation of glycogenin. Two glycogenin genes, GYG1 and GYG2, encode the two isoforms glycogenin-1 and -2, respectively. LÄS MER
