Pathology Analysis of OPMD Patient Myotomies
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study aims to characterize the effect of OPMD mutation on muscle function. Muscle samples will be received from oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) patients who undergo cricopharyngeal muscle-cutting surgery, as part of their routine healthcare and treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of genes that show changes in RNA profile, measured by sequencing. [Data will be collected within four years.]
RNA profile analysis of OPMD muscle samples will be compared to unaffected muscle samples using sequencing to identify gene numbers.
- Number of genes that show changes in protein profile, measured by SDS page. [Data will be collected within four years.]
Protein profile analysis of OPMD muscle samples will be compared to unaffected muscle samples to identify gene numbers using SDS page.
