Variability of resting endoscopic grading for assessment of recurrent laryngeal neuropathy in horses
Journal Article
Perkins, J. D. M., Salz, R. O., Schumacher, J., Livesey, L., Piercy, R. J., & Barakzai, S. Z. Variability of resting endoscopic grading for assessment of recurrent laryngeal neuropathy in horses. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(4), 342-346. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x423073

Reasons for performing study: The extent to which variability affects endoscopic grading of arytenoid cartilage movement is uncertain. Objective: To determine the observer and within horse variability of grading arytenoid cartilage movement in horses...

Storage-associated artefact in equine muscle biopsy samples
Journal Article
Stanley, R. L., Maile, C., & Piercy, R. J. Storage-associated artefact in equine muscle biopsy samples. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(1), 82-86. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x330374

Reasons for performing study: Muscle biopsy is increasingly used in equine veterinary practice for investigating exertional, inflammatory or immune mediated myopathies and unexplained muscle atrophy. Although formalin-fixed samples are often used, fo... Read More about Storage-associated artefact in equine muscle biopsy samples.

Investigating the pathology of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy
Journal Article
Brown, S. C., Piercy, R. J., Muntoni, F., & Sewry, C. A. Investigating the pathology of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Biochemical Society Transactions, 36(Pt 6), 1335-1338. https://doi.org/10.1042/bst0361335

EDMD (Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy) is caused by mutations in either the gene encoding for lamin A/C (LMNA) located at 1q21.2-q21.3 of emerin (EMD) located at Xq28. Autosomal dominant EDMD caused by LMNA mutations is more common than the X-linke... Read More about Investigating the pathology of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
