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-

Myeloma‐Associated Sporadic Late‐Onset Nemaline Myopathy, Successfully Treated with Daratumumab Based Induction and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation: A Case Report

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM) is a rare, acquired myopathy often associated with monoclonal gammopathy. We report a 48‐year‐old man presenting with progressive proximal and truncal muscle weakness in whom SLONM associated with smoldering myeloma was highly suspected.

Modelling myopathies in zebrafish

, 2017
Muscle diseases, or myopathies, are a group of rare congenital diseases that severely incapacitate the patients and in some cases are fatal. Most of these diseases result from mutations in genes that code for proteins of the sarcomere, the contractile ...

A custom ddPCR method for the detection of copy number variations in the nebulin triplicate region.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The human genome contains repetitive regions, such as segmental duplications, known to be prone to copy number variation. Segmental duplications are highly identical and homologous sequences, posing a specific challenge for most mutation detection ...

TUBA4A Pathogenic Variant Manifesting With Adulthood‐Onset Genetic Myasthenic Syndrome, Myopathy, and Infertility

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives TUBA4A pathogenic variants are associated with ALS, frontotemporal dementia, spastic ataxia, spasticity, ataxia, Parkinson's disease, female infertility, macrothrombocytopenia, and myopathy. Four recently reported patients with TUBA4A neonatal/childhood onset myopathy had also a decrement on repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS), but ...

The Novel ACTC1 p.Gly50Ser Variant Is Associated With Arrhythmia and Secondary Features of HCM Without Hypertrophy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 7, Page 1742-1748, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The key diagnostic criterion for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the presence of otherwise unexplained hypertrophy. Current definitions of HCM rely on specific thresholds to establish a diagnosis, while guideline directed risk stratification algorithms take its magnitude into consideration.
