Coexistence of central nucleus, cores, and rods: Diagnostic relevance

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2016
Background: Congenital myopathies (CMs) though considered distinct disorders, simultaneous occurrence of central nucleus, nemaline rods, and cores in the same biopsy are scarcely reported. Objective: A retrospective reassessment of cases diagnosed as CMs

HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraplegia with sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy: a case report

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background Sporadic late onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM) is a muscle disorder characterized by the presence of nemaline rods in muscle fibers.

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.

Actin nemaline myopathy mouse reproduces disease, suggests other actin disease phenotypes and provides cautionary note on muscle transgene expression.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Mutations in the skeletal muscle α-actin gene (ACTA1) cause congenital myopathies including nemaline myopathy, actin aggregate myopathy and rod-core disease.

The R168G heterozygous mutation of tropomyosin 3 (TPM3) was identified in three family members and has manifestations ranging from asymptotic to serve scoliosis and respiratory complications

Genes and Diseases, 2021
According to existing reports, mutations in the slow tropomyosin gene (TPM3) may lead to congenital fiber-type disproportion (CFTD), nemaline myopathy (NM) and cap myopathy (CD).

The spectrum of congenital myopathies in Romania – a pathological retrospective study [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2015
Objectives. Congenital myopathies (CM) are a highly heterogeneous group of disorders with genetic cause, characterized by motor deficit and weakness usually manifesting in the neonatal period, with slowly progressive or non-progressive course and ...

Integrating Chain‐of‐Thought and Retrieval Augmented Generation Enhances Rare Disease Diagnosis From Clinical Notes

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Several studies show that large language models (LLMs) struggle with phenotype‐driven gene prioritization for rare diseases. These studies typically use Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms to prompt foundation models such as GPT and LLaMA to predict candidate genes.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Prevalence of Congenital Myopathy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: Congenital myopathy constitutes a heterogeneous group of orphan diseases that are mainly classified on the basis of muscle biopsy findings. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of congenital myopathy through a systematic review and meta-

CRISPR Activation Reveals the Spliceogenicity of an Intronic NEB Variant in Fetuses With Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita 6

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 772-777, April 2026.
CRISPR activation of NEB in fibroblasts, followed by RNA‐sequencing, documents spliceogenic effects of a NEB intronic variant. The assay enabled variant reclassification as likely pathogenic, providing molecular diagnosis in fetuses with Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita 6.
