A Korean Case of Neonatal Nemaline Myopathy Carrying KLHL40 Mutations Diagnosed Using Next Generation Sequencing [PDF]
Neonatal Medicine, 2021 Nemaline myopathy is a genetically heterogeneous neuromuscular disorder and one of the most common congenital myopathies. The clinical manifestations usually vary depending on the age of onset.

Case report: Homozygous variants of NEB and KLHL40 in two Arab patients with nemaline myopathy
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Objective: Nemaline myopathies are a heterogeneous group of congenital myopathies caused by mutations in different genes associated with the structural and functional proteins of thin muscular filaments.

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.

Nemaline Myopathy: A Case Report
Case Reports in Neurology, 2021 Generalized weakness in the pediatric and adolescent population is caused by many disorders that affect the neuromuscular axis. As next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming of high yield in replacing more invasive procedures, that is, muscle and nerve

An adult nemaline myopathy patient with respiratory and heart failure harboring a novel NEB variant
eNeurologicalSci, 2020 Nemaline myopathy is a heterogeneous disorder of skeletal muscle, and histologically characterized by the presence of nemaline bodies in muscle fibers. Patients with typical congenital form of nemaline myopathy initially present with proximal but later ...

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Nemaline myopathy is a rare disorder affecting the muscle sarcomere. Mutations in nebulin gene (NEB) are known to be responsible for about 50% of nemaline myopathy cases.

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 ...

Filamentous tangles with nemaline rods in MYH2 myopathy: a novel phenotype
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021 The MYH2 gene encodes the skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MyHC-IIA) isoform, which is expressed in the fast twitch type 2A fibers. Autosomal dominant or recessive pathogenic variants in MYH2 lead to congenital myopathy clinically featured by ...

neb: a zebrafish model of nemaline myopathy due to nebulin mutation
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2012 SUMMARY Nemaline myopathy is one of the most common and severe non-dystrophic muscle diseases of childhood. Patients typically present in infancy with hypotonia, weakness, delayed motor development, and bulbar and respiratory difficulties.
