A loss of function TNNT1 myopathy mouse model with the nonsense mutation p.E180* showed potential cytotoxicity of the truncated slow troponin T fragment. The mRNA expression profile in the soleus muscle of Tnnt1‐p.E180* mice showed very different changes in comparison to that of Tnnt1‐knockout mice.

Nemaline Myopathy (NM) is a rare genetic disorder that encompasses a large spectrum of myopathies characterized by hypotonia and generalized muscle weakness. To date, mutations in thirteen different genes have been associated with NM. The most frequently

Actin Dynamics in Muscle Cells [PDF]
In every cell, actin is a key component involved in migration, cytokinesis, endocytosis and generation of contraction. In non-muscle cells, actin filaments are very dynamic and regulated by an array of proteins that interact with actin filaments and/or ...

Current and future therapeutic approaches to the congenital myopathies [PDF]
The congenital myopathies − including Central Core Disease (CCD), Multi-minicore Disease (MmD), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), Nemaline Myopathy (NM) and Congenital Fibre Type Disproportion (CFTD) − are a genetically heterogeneous group of early-onset ...

Skeletal and Cardiac Myopathy with Acquired Factor X Deficiency in a Patient with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Clinical Significance: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
Monoclonal gammopathies include several types of plasma cell proliferative disorders, which might be benign to malignant. Monoclonal Gammopathy of Clinical Significance (MGCS) refers to small plasma cell clones that cause organ damage without meeting ...

Therapeutic Aspects in Congenital Myopathies [PDF]
The congenital myopathies are a genetically heterogeneous and diverse group of early-onset, nondystrophic neuromuscular disorders. While the originally reported “classical” entities within this group – Central Core Disease, Multiminicore Disease ...

Troponin T (TnT) is the sarcomeric thin filament anchoring subunit of the troponin complex in striated muscles. A nonsense mutation in exon 11 of the slow skeletal muscle isoform of TnT (ssTnT) gene (TNNT1) was found in the Amish populations in ...

Evidence for a dominant-negative effect in ACTA1 nemaline myopathy caused by abnormal folding, aggregation and altered polymerization of mutant actin isoforms [PDF]
We have studied a cohort of nemaline myopathy (NM) patients with mutations in the muscle α-skeletal actin gene (ACTA1). Immunoblot analysis of patient muscle demonstrates increased γ-filamin, myotilin, desmin and α-actinin in many NM patients, consistent
