Nemaline myopathy type 6: clinical and myopathological features [PDF]
Nemaline myopathy (NEM) is one of the most common congenital myopathies. A unique subtype, NEM6, maps to chromosome 15q21-q23 in two pedigrees, but the causative gene has not been determined.

Dystonia Scales for Children: Challenges and Obstacles in DBS Practice
Abstract Background Dystonia in pediatric patients often coexists with other movement disorders and neurodevelopmental issues. Current rating scales for evaluating pediatric deep brain stimulation (DBS) candidates are not universally applicable and often require a non‐validated combination of the existing scales.

Magnetic resonance imaging of muscle in nemaline myopathy
We report muscle MRI findings of 10 patients from 8 families with nemaline myopathy. Patients with involvement of the nebulin (NEB) gene showed a consistent pattern of selective muscle involvement corresponding to clinical severity. In mild cases.

Abstract This chapter presents a 58-year-old woman with progressive weakness, dysphagia, and dyspnea, ultimately diagnosed with sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy. She has a complex history that includes antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, monoclonal gammopathy, positive antinuclear antibody (ANA), and ...

An atomic view of the NFIX–DNA complex reveals recognition of the TGGCA motif and links sequence‐specific binding to the transcriptional programs governing skeletal muscle development and disease. ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle is essential for voluntary movement and exhibits a remarkable capacity for regeneration following injury.

The Diverse Neuromuscular Spectrum of VPS13A Disease
ABSTRACT Objective VPS13A disease (chorea‐acanthocytosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic variants in VPS13A, typically presenting with hyperkinetic movement disorders, while neuromuscular signs are often mild. The aim of the project was to investigate the frequency and severity of neuromuscular impairment in VPS13A disease ...

Phenotypes of Myopathy-related Actin Mutants in differentiated C2C12 Myotubes
Background About 20 % of nemaline myopathies are thus far related to skeletal muscle alpha-actin. Seven actin mutants located in different parts of the actin molecule and linked to different forms of the disease were selected and expressed as EGFP-tagged

Cullin-3 Dependent Deregulation of ACTN1 Represents a New Pathogenic Mechanism in Nemaline Myopathy
Nemaline myopathy is a congenital neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness, fiber atrophy, and presence of nemaline bodies within myofibers. However, understanding of the underlying pathomechanisms is lacking.
