A la malaltia de Pompe, l'acumulació progressiva de glucògen al múscul culmina amb la pèrdua progressiva de fibres musculars i la substitució del teixit muscular per teixit fibro-adipós. La teràpia de reemplaçament enzimàtic (TRE) ha mostrat que és capaç d'estabilitzar la simptomatologia dels pacients, tot i que tot sembla indicar que el deteriorament muscular continua progressant el que porta a l'empitjorament de la força muscular. És evident que necessitem nous marcadors de seguiment que siguin capaços d'identificar canvis a l'estructura muscular que encara no es tradueixen en un canvi en la debilitat muscular. La imatge de ressonància magnètica s' ha establert en els darrers anys com una eina útil en el seguiment de les miopaties hereditàries, com la malaltia de Pompe, ja que és capaç de mostrar canvis en l' estructura muscular, especialment acúmul de greix, abans que es produeixi un impacte en els símptomes dels pacients. En la present tesi doctoral, explorem la utilitat de dues tècniques específiques de ressonància magnètica (seqüència 2 punt-Dixon i la Transferència de Magnetització) per caracteritzar i quantificar el dany als músculs esquelètics de pacients amb malaltia de Pompe d'inici tardà. Als nostres estudis hem observat que la ressonància mostra canvis abans que aquests tinguin un impacte en la funció muscular, per la qual cosa es planteja com una molt bona tècnica per fer el seguiment de la resposta a la TRE dels pacients a la clínica diària, però també a assajos clínics que analitzen l'eficàcia de noves teràpies. En el cas dels pacients pre-simptomàtics, un augment de greix pot indicar que la malaltia muscular ha començat a afectar la capacitat dels músculs dels pacients per regenerar-se i aquests estan degenerant, donant pas a la pèrdua de fibres musculars i augment de fracció grassa. Aquestes dades suggereixen que la tècnica de Dixon pot ser útil tant en la clínica diària com en els estudis d'història natural o en assajos clínics en pacients amb malaltia de Pompe. La segona tècnica de ressonància magnètica utilitzada en aquesta tesi va ser la transferència de magnetització (TM) per tal d'estudiar els canvis estructurals que podrien estar relacionats amb l'acumulació de glucògen en el muscle d'aquests pacients. Hem observat que existeix una correlació negativa entre la fracció grassa i la TM, és a dir a major contingut gras menor TM, la qual cosa confirma que la massa grassa té un menor nombre de macromolècules, a diferència del múscul esquelètic que té una gran quantitat de proteïnes que formen part de l'estructura sarcomèrica. Aquestes dades suggereixen que la TM és útil per detectar pèrdua de massa muscular en els pacients amb malaltia de Pompe. Conseqüentment, hem evidenciat una correlació significativa entre la TM i els resultats de les proves funcionals, demostrant que aquesta tècnica podria ser útil en el seguiment dels pacients amb aquesta malaltia. En la enfermedad de Pompe, la acumulación progresiva de glucógeno en el músculo culmina con la pérdida progresiva de fibras musculares y la sustitución del tejido muscular por tejido fibro-adiposo. La terapia de reemplazo enzimático (TRE) ha mostrado que es capaz de estabilizar la sintomatología de los pacientes, a pesar de que todo parece indicar que el deterioro muscular continúa progresando lo que lleva a el empeoramiento de la fuerza muscular. Es evidente que necesitamos nuevos marcadores de seguimiento que sean capaces de identificar cambios en la estructura muscular que todavía no se traducen en un cambio en la debilidad muscular. La imagen de resonancia magnética se ha establecido en los últimos años como una herramienta útil en el seguimiento de las miopatías hereditarias, como la enfermedad de Pompe, ya que es capaz de mostrar cambios en la estructura muscular, especialmente acúmulo de grasa, antes de que se produzca un impacto en los síntomas de los pacientes. En la presente tesis doctoral, exploramos la utilidad de dos técnicas específicas de resonancia magnética (secuencia 2 punto-Dixon y la Transferencia de Magnetización) para caracterizar y cuantificar el daño en los músculos esquelético de pacientes con enfermedad de Pompe de inicio tardío. En nuestros estudios hemos observado que la resonancia muestra cambios antes de que éstos tengan un impacto en la función muscular, por lo que se plantea como una muy buena técnica para realizar el seguimiento de la respuesta a la TRE de los pacientes en la clínica diaria, pero también en ensayos clínico que analizan la eficacia de nuevas terapias. En el caso de los pacientes pre-sintomáticos, un aumento de grasa puede indicar que la enfermedad muscular ha empezado a afectar la capacidad de los músculos de los pacientes para regenerarse y éstos están degenerando, dando paso a la pérdida de fibras musculares y aumento de fracción grasa. Estos datos sugieren que la técnica de Dixon puede ser útil tanto en la clínica diaria como en los estudios de historia natural o en ensayos clínicos en pacientes con enfermedad de Pompe. La segunda técnica de resonancia magnética utilizada en esta tesis fue la transferencia de magnetización (TM) con el fin de estudiar los cambios estructurales que podrían estar relacionados con la acumulación de glucógeno en el musculo de estos pacientes. Hemos observado que existe una correlación negativa entre la fracción grasa y la TM, es decir a mayor contenido graso menor TM, lo que confirma que la masa grasa tiene un menor número de macromoléculas, a diferencia del músculo esquelético que tiene una gran cantidad de proteínas que forman parte de la estructura sarcomérica. Estos datos sugieren que la TM es útil para detectar pérdida de masa muscular en los pacientes con enfermedad de Pompe. Consecuentemente, hemos evidenciado una correlación significativa entre la TM y los resultados de las pruebas funcionales, demostrando que esta técnica podría ser útil en el seguimiento de los pacientes con esta enfermedad. In Pompe disease, the progressive accumulation of glycogen in the muscle culminates in the progressive loss of muscle fibers and the replacement of muscle tissue with fibro-adipose tissue. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is able to stabilize patients' symptomatology, although it seems that muscle deterioration continues to progress leading to worsening muscle strength. We need new follow-up markers that can identify changes in muscle structure that do not yet translate into a change in muscle weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging has been established in recent years as a useful tool in the follow-up of hereditary myopathies, such as Pompe disease, as it can show changes in muscle structure, especially fat accumulation before there is an impact on patients' symptoms. In the present dissertation, we explored the usefulness of two specific MRI techniques (2-point-Dixon sequence and Magnetization Transfer) to characterize and quantify skeletal muscle damage in patients with late-onset Pompe disease. In our studies we have observed that MRI shows changes before they have an impact on muscle function, making it a very good technique for monitoring the response to ERT of patients in daily clinical practice, but also in clinical trials analyzing the efficacy of new therapies. In the case of pre-symptomatic patients, an increase in fat may indicate that the muscle disease has started to affect the ability of the patient's muscles to regenerate and they are degenerating, giving way to loss of muscle fibers and an increase in fat fraction. These data suggest that Dixon's technique may be useful both in daily clinical practice and in natural history studies or clinical trials in patients with Pompe disease. The second MRI technique used in this thesis was magnetization transfer (MT) to study structural changes that could be related to glycogen accumulation in the muscle of these patients. We have observed that there is a negative correlation between fat fraction and MT, i.e. the higher the fat content the lower the MT, which confirms that fat mass has a lower number of macromolecules, unlike skeletal muscle which has a large amount of proteins that are part of the sarcomeric structure. These data suggest that MT is useful for detecting muscle mass loss in patients with Pompe disease. Consequently, we have evidenced a significant correlation between MT and functional test results, demonstrating that this technique could be useful in the follow-up of patients with this disease.

- Abstract
Introduction/Aims: Very few studies analyzing the pattern of muscle involvement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with McArdle disease have been reported to date. We aimed to examine the pattern of muscle fat replacement in patients with McArdle disease. Methods: We performed a retrospective study including all patients with genetically confirmed McArdle disease followed in our center from January 2010 to March 2021. Clinical data were collected from the medical record. Whole‐body MRI was performed as part of the diagnostic evaluation. The distribution of muscle fat replacement and its severity were analyzed. Results: Nine patients were included. Median age at onset was 7 y (range, 5–58) and median age at the time when MRI was performed was 57.3 y (range, 37.2–72.8). At physical examination, four patients had permanent weakness: in three the weakness was limited to paraspinal muscles, whereas in one the weakness involved the paraspinal and proximal upper limb muscles. Muscle MRI showed abnormalities in six of the seven studied patients. In all of them, fat replacement of paravertebral muscles was found. Other muscles frequently affected were the tongue in three, subscapularis in three, and long head of biceps femoris and semimembranosus in two. Discussion: Our findings suggest that paraspinal muscle involvement is common in McArdle disease and support the need to include this disease in the differential diagnosis of the causes of paraspinal muscle weakness. Involvement of the tongue and subscapularis are also frequent in McArdle disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a genetic disorder caused by an abnormal expansion of GCN triplets within the PABPN1 gene. Previous descriptions have focused on lower limb muscles in small cohorts of patients with OPMD, but larger imaging studies have not been performed. Previous imaging studies have been too small to be able to correlate imaging findings to genetic and clinical data.METHODS: We present cross-sectional, T1-weighted muscle MRI and CT-scan data from 168 patients with genetically confirmed OPMD. We have analysed the pattern of muscle involvement in the disease using hierarchical analysis and presented it as heatmaps. Results of the scans were correlated with genetic and clinical data.RESULTS: Fatty replacement was identified in 96.7% of all symptomatic patients. The tongue, the adductor magnus and the soleus were the most commonly affected muscles. Muscle pathology on MRI correlated positively with disease duration and functional impairment.CONCLUSIONS: We have described a pattern that can be considered characteristic of OPMD. An early combination of fat replacement in the tongue, adductor magnus and soleus can be helpful for differential diagnosis. The findings suggest the natural history of the disease from a radiological point of view. The information generated by this study is of high diagnostic value and important for clinical trial development.

- Abstract
[Objective] To analyze the microRNA profile in serum of patients with Adult Onset Pompe disease (AOPD). [Methods] We analyzed the expression of 185 microRNAs in serum of 15 AOPD patients and five controls using microRNA PCR Panels. The expression levels of microRNAs that were deregulated were further studied in 35 AOPD patients and 10 controls using Real‐Time PCR. Additionally, the skeletal muscle expression of microRNAs which showed significant increase levels in serum samples was also studied. Correlations between microRNA serum levels and muscle function test, spirometry, and quantitative muscle MRI were performed (these data correspond to the study NCT01914536 at ClinicalTrials.gov). [Results] We identified 14 microRNAs that showed different expression levels in serum samples of AOPD patients compared to controls. We validated these results in a larger cohort of patients and we found increased levels of three microRNAs, the so called dystromirs: miR‐1‐3p, miR‐133a‐3p, and miR‐206. These microRNAs are involved in muscle regeneration and the expression of these was increased in patients' muscle biopsies. Significant correlations between microRNA levels and muscle function test were found. [Interpretation] Serum expression levels of dystromirs may represent additional biomarkers for the follow‐up of AOPD patients.

- Abstract
Background and Objective: Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a genetic disorder caused by an abnormal expansion of GCN triplets within the PABPN1 gene. Previous descriptions have focused on lower limb muscles in small cohorts of patients with OPMD, but larger imaging studies have not been performed. Previous imaging studies have been too small to be able to correlate imaging findings to genetic and clinical data., Methods: We present cross-sectional, T1-weighted muscle MRI and CT-scan data from 168 patients with genetically confirmed OPMD. We have analysed the pattern of muscle involvement in the disease using hierarchical analysis and presented it as heatmaps. Results of the scans were correlated with genetic and clinical data., Results: Fatty replacement was identified in 96.7% of all symptomatic patients. The tongue, the adductor magnus and the soleus were the most commonly affected muscles. Muscle pathology on MRI correlated positively with disease duration and functional impairment., Conclusions: We have described a pattern that can be considered characteristic of OPMD. An early combination of fat replacement in the tongue, adductor magnus and soleus can be helpful for differential diagnosis. The findings suggest the natural history of the disease from a radiological point of view. The information generated by this study is of high diagnostic value and important for clinical trial development., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2019.
