Statins in Genetic Myopathies: A Retrospective Analysis of Safety and Tolerability.

Neurology. Clinical practice2026 Feb

Statins are widely prescribed lipid-lowering agents, but their safety and tolerability in patients with underlying genetic myopathies remain uncertain. We aimed to study statin safety and tolerability in genetic myopathies using a large retrospective cohort. We conducted a retrospective study in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2), facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), and metabolic or mitochondrial myopathies who were exposed to statins. We included 135 patients (36 with DM1, 46 with DM2, 22 with FSHD, 6 with LGMD, 17 with mitochondrial myopathy, 6 with glycogenosis, and 2 with disorders of fatty acid oxidation or carnitine transport). A total of 44 patients discontinued statins, most often for statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS; n = 20). SAMS occurred in 36 of 135 patients (26.67%; 8 with DM1, 10 with DM2, 7 with FSHD, 3 with LGMD, 4 with mitochondrial myopathy, and 4 with metabolic myopathy). Myalgias were the most frequent SAMS (n = 29). Rhabdomyolysis occurred in 4 patients (1 with mitochondrial myopathy and 3 with McArdle disease). Statins unmasked myopathy in 6 of 36 patients. No patient developed immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy. SAMS are generally mild and occur at a frequency similar to the general population in common genetic myopathies, except increased rhabdomyolysis in mitochondrial myopathies and McArdle disease. Statins are generally safe, though not well tolerated, and could be used when closely monitored in several genetic myopathies. In mitochondrial and metabolic myopathies, their use should be approached with caution because of the potential risk of rhabdomyolysis.

Benchmarking long-read sequencing approaches to resolve facioscapulohumeral dystrophy locus complexity.

Brain : a journal of neurology2026 Feb 05

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is primarily associated with contraction of the D4Z4 macrosatellite array at the 4q35 locus. While unaffected individuals carry 11 to 150 D4Z4 repeats, approximately 95% of FSHD patients (FSHD1) exhibit a contraction to 1-10 units, along with reduced DNA methylation. In another ∼3% of patients (FSHD2), the disease results from a digenic mechanism associated with the presence of a pathogenic variant in the SMCHD1 gene, leading to the epigenetic deregulation of the 4q35 locus. However, 1-2% of clinically diagnosed patients lack a defined genetic cause, highlighting diagnostic gaps. In prior work, we identified over 70 patients, clinically diagnosed with FSHD and carrying a complex structural variant of the 4q35 or 10q26 loci. A potential pathogenicity of these structural variants was evoked in some cases, in the absence of other FSHD-associated genetic features. Given their diagnostic relevance, we performed here detailed structural analyses of these rearrangements, in 7 representative cases carrying different structural variants of the 4q35 or 10q26 loci using high-resolution long-read sequencing technologies (Oxford Nanopore and PacBio) and suspected of FSHD. By comparing the advantages and limitations of several methodological long read sequencing strategies, we resolved the architecture and methylation patterns across the 4q35 and 10q26 loci at the nucleotide-level. We show that duplicated alleles arise from intrachromosomal recombination between LSau elements contained within D4Z4 and distal subtelomeric β-satellite elements, producing variable deletions within the proximal D4Z4 region, with breakpoints differing among patients. These complex structural variants are not detectable using standard technologies like Bionano Optical Genome Mapping and require manual curation for identification during routine molecular diagnosis procedures. Importantly, determining the pathogenic relevance of these rearrangements necessitates integrating structural and epigenetic features typically associated with FSHD. Our results underscore the importance of in-depth molecular characterization for patients with clinical FSHD who test negative for FSHD1/FSHD2 by conventional diagnosis methods. We further show that structural variants might be considered as likely pathogenic, in the absence of SMCHD1 variant. Overall, as structural variants at 4q35 are increasingly identified in patients clinically diagnosed with FSHD, their comprehensive analysis is crucial to refine diagnosis, guide genetic counseling, and ultimately improve clinical care for individuals clinically suspected of FSHD but presenting an atypical molecular profile.

Co-Occurrence of Myasthenia Gravis and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy: A Case Series and Review of Literature.

European journal of neurology2026 Jan

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) and Myasthenia Gravis (MG) are well-known rare neuromuscular diseases of respectively genetic and acquired origin. Among muscular dystrophies, the co-occurrence of MG with FSHD is the most common, representing a non-negligible "double trouble". Here, we aim to describe a series of patients with coexistence of these two rare disorders and combine this with a review of the literature to identify common elements which might provide useful clues when evaluating a FSHD patient with uncommon clinical presentation compatible with MG. We retrospectively collected demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of patients affected by both FSHD and MG followed at the Nice University Center, and we performed a review of the literature. We identified 10 patients in our cohort, 7 females. All patients have a D4Z4 4qA allele of 7-10 RU, a disease onset > 45 years and a mean FSHD score of 9.6 ± 2 at the last evaluation. The mean age of onset of MG was 68.5 ± 7.6 years; all patients presented with anti-AChR antibodies and without thymic pathology, and MG appeared in all but two patients after FSHD. We identified 9 case reports in the literature. All of them presented with AChR positivity. The majority of them presented with a late and very late onset MG and without thymic pathology. Our results underline the need for careful clinical evaluation to identify uncommon features, especially in elderly FSHD patients carrying a D4Z4 4qA allele of 7-10 RU to exclude the coexistence of other treatable neuromuscular conditions.

Identification of KHDC1L, a DUX4-regulated protein, as a novel plasma biomarker in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

Human molecular genetics2026 Feb 09

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by aberrant expression of the double homeobox transcription factor DUX4 in skeletal muscle. Because direct measurement of DUX4 in FSHD muscle is technically challenging, DUX4-regulated transcripts in muscle biopsies have been used as surrogates; however, this approach is invasive, limited to a single muscle, and less suitable for repeated monitoring. Thus, we sought to identify DUX4-regulated circulating biomarkers that could integrate DUX4 activity across all affected muscles and enable more frequent measurement. We performed mass spectrometry on conditioned media from DUX4-inducible immortalized human myoblasts (MB135iDUX4) and identified a top candidate-KHDC1L, the protein product of a DUX4-regulated mRNA previously shown to correlate with DUX4 expression in muscle. Western blotting confirmed KHDC1L release into the supernatant of DUX4-expressing cells. Plasma profiling demonstrated elevated KHDC1L levels in individuals with FSHD compared to healthy controls, supporting its role as a circulating readout of DUX4 activity. These findings suggest that plasma KHDC1L is a potential pharmacodynamic marker of DUX4 activity, providing a minimally invasive tool for disease monitoring and a potential response marker to evaluate emerging FSHD therapies.

Interleukin-6 as a Key Biomarker in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy: Evidence From Longitudinal Analyses.

Annals of clinical and translational neurology2026 Feb

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder with no approved treatments. Identifying reliable biomarkers is critical to monitor disease severity, activity, and progression. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker, but longitudinal validation is limited. We analyzed pooled data from two prospective longitudinal cohorts: CTRN-FSHD France (NCT04038138) and Cytokine FSHD (NCT04694456), each comprising 30 genetically confirmed ambulant FSHD1 patients. Serum IL-6 levels and clinical assessments were collected at baseline (M0), 12 months (M12), and 18 months (M18); whole-body muscle MRI (T1-weighted and STIR sequences) was obtained at M0 and M12. Associations between IL-6 levels and clinical severity scores, functional measures, and MRI-derived muscle composition were evaluated. Serum IL-6 levels correlated significantly with clinical severity metrics, including Clinical Severity Score, 6-Minute Walk Test, Manual Muscle Testing, and Motor Function Measure Domain 1 at all time points. Higher IL-6 levels were associated with increased muscle fat infiltration and free water content compatible with muscle edema on MRI. Longitudinal analyses showed that increases in IL-6 over 12 months were significantly correlated with changes in T1 (fat infiltration) and STIR (muscle edema) composite scores, reflecting structural and inflammatory disease progression. These findings validate IL-6 as a biomarker of FSHD1 severity and underscore its potential as an activity and progression biomarker. The correlation between IL-6, clinical scores, and MRI-based muscle composition changes highlights its potential utility for monitoring disease evolution and evaluating therapeutic responses in FSHD1 patients.
