Nemaline myopathy: description of an adult onset case.
Nemaline myopathy is a rare congenital muscle disease, with neonatal or adult onset. We report clinical and ultrastructural study of a 73-year-old woman whose symptoms manifested at age 40 years with proximal muscle weakness, nocturnal cramps, muscle ...

Generation of a novel mouse model of nemaline myopathy due to recurrent NEB exon 55 deletion
Biallelic pathogenic variants in the nebulin (NEB) gene lead to the congenital muscle disease nemaline myopathy. In-frame deletion of exon 55 (ΔExon55) is the most common disease-causing variant in NEB.

Nemaline Myopathy - Enzyme Histochemical and Ultrastructural Study-
We describe two cases of congenital nemaline myopathy presented with gait disturbance due to calcaneocavovalgus deformity. They showed characteristic dysmorphic features, i.e., an elongated face, antegraded chin, and high-arched palate.

Slow myosin heavy chain isozyme in nemaline myopathy.
Muscle biopsies from two sporadic cases of congenital nemaline myopathy were examined for myosin heavy chain composition. Electrophoresis of congenital nemaline myopathy (CNM) muscle myosin in SDS-5% polyacrylamide gels gave rise to a single heavy chain ...

Amish Nemaline Myopathy is a severe form of nemaline myopathy associated to mutation in TNNT1 gene, firstly reported among the Old Order Amish. Here we report two Italian siblings who manifested, by the age of 7 months, progressive and severe muscle ...

Recent advances in nemaline myopathy [PDF]
The nemaline myopathies constitute a large proportion of the congenital or structural myopathies. Common to all patients is muscle weakness and the presence in the muscle biopsy of nemaline rods.

Zebrafish models for nemaline myopathy reveal a spectrum of nemaline bodies contributing to reduced muscle function [PDF]
Nemaline myopathy is characterized by muscle weakness and the presence of rod-like (nemaline) bodies. The genetic etiology of nemaline myopathy is becoming increasingly understood with mutations in ten genes now known to cause the disease.

A new phenotype of autosomal dominant nemaline myopathy
We present a five-generation family with a novel phenotype of autosomal dominant nemaline myopathy not linked to the three genes known to be causative for nemaline myopathy (alpha-tropomyosin-3, nebulin, and alpha-actin).

To elucidate the protein composition of the nemaline bodies present in the muscle fibres of patients with congenital nemaline myopathy (CNM), we studied muscle biopsies with monoclonal antibodies against α-actinin and desmin in combination with a ...
