This article explores dysferlinopathies, a group of muscular dystrophies leading to muscle weakness due to mutations in the DYSF gene. The gene is responsible for producing dysferlin, a vital protein for muscle membrane repair.

The review covers the clinical aspects, molecular mechanisms, and emerging therapies for dysferlinopathies. It emphasizes the varied symptoms and the challenge of understanding how specific mutations relate to the disease.

The article discusses potential treatments, including symptomatic, pharmacological, molecular, and genetic approaches. It also looks into the roles of diet and metabolism in managing these disorders and evaluates the impact of clinical trials on treatment strategies.

Additionally, the use of animal models in understanding the disease is considered. The overall message underscores the need for interdisciplinary efforts, precision medicine, and collaboration in both research and clinical trials to enhance understanding and treatment of dysferlinopathies.
