Molecular signatures of inherited and acquired sporadic late onset nemaline myopathies

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
Acquired sporadic late onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM) and inherited nemaline myopathy (iNM) both feature accumulation of nemaline rods in muscle fibers. Unlike iNM, SLONM is amenable to therapy.

Testing of therapies in a novel nebulin nemaline myopathy model demonstrate a lack of efficacy [PDF]

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2018
Nemaline myopathies are heterogeneous congenital muscle disorders causing skeletal muscle weakness and, in some cases, death soon after birth. Mutations in nebulin, encoding a large sarcomeric protein required for thin filament function, are responsible ...

Loss of Tropomodulin4 in the zebrafish mutant träge causes cytoplasmic rod formation and muscle weakness reminiscent of nemaline myopathy

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2014
Nemaline myopathy is an inherited muscle disease that is mainly diagnosed by the presence of nemaline rods in muscle biopsies. Of the nine genes associated with the disease, five encode components of striated muscle sarcomeres.

ACTA1-Related Adult-Onset Scapuloperoneal Myopathy With Cores and Rods. [PDF]

Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol
We report a patient with an adult‐onset, slowly progressive, ACTA1‐related scapuloperoneal myopathy with cores and rods, determined by the heterozygous variant NM_001100.4:c.1001C > T, p.(Pro334Leu). The scapuloperoneal phenotype could represent a distinct subcategory, and the characterisation of this patient with a less severe, different clinical ...

Concurrent Sporadic Late-Onset Nemaline Myopathy and an Excessive Glycogen Accumulation Associated With Monoclonal Gammopathy. [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Background Monoclonal gammopathy‐associated myopathies (MGAMs) include light chain (AL) amyloid myopathy, sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM), and vacuolar myopathy with monoclonal gammopathy and stiffness (VAMMGAS). These subtypes usually occur separately, although rare overlap has been described. We report a patient with monoclonal
