Testing of therapies in a novel nebulin nemaline myopathy model demonstrate a lack of efficacy
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 ...

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.

Camptocormia as the presenting symptom in sporadic late onset nemaline myopathy: a case report
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019 Background Camptocormia has been reported in a plethora of diseases comprising disorders of the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, and the neuromuscular junction as well as hereditary and acquired myopathies.

Skeletal muscle microRNA and messenger RNA profiling in cofilin-2 deficient mice reveals cell cycle dysregulation hindering muscle regeneration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Congenital myopathies are rare skeletal muscle diseases presenting in early age with hypotonia and weakness often linked to a genetic defect. Mutations in the gene for cofilin-2 (CFL2) have been identified in several families as a cause of congenital ...

Congenital myopathies: The current status
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2022 Within the history of neuromuscular diseases (NMD), congenital myopathies (CM) represent a relatively new category introduced in the mid-nineteen hundreds upon advent and subsequent application of enzyme histochemistry and electron microscopy by ...

Autophagy increase in Merosin-Deficient Congenital Muscular Dystrophy type 1A
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2023 The autophagy process recycles dysfunctional cellular components and protein aggregates by sequestering them in autophagosomes directed to lysosomes for enzymatic degradation.
