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 ...

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.

Deciphering the Effect of Nemaline-Myopathy Nebulin Mutations on Desmin Binding [PDF]
Our research focuses on the role of intermediate proteins in human disease. Desmin, a major intermediate filament protein in muscle cells, is organized into a central coiledcoil alpha helical domain flanked by globular head and tail domains.

Ryanodine receptor type 3 (RYR3) as a novel gene associated with a myopathy with nemaline bodies
Background: Nemaline myopathy has been associated with mutations in twelve genes to date. However, for some patients diagnosed with nemaline myopathy, definitive mutations are not identified in the known genes, suggesting there are other genes involved ...

A Novel Nemaline Myopathy in the Amish Caused by a Mutation in Troponin T1
The nemaline myopathies are characterized by weakness and eosinophilic, rodlike (nemaline) inclusions in muscle fibers. Amish nemaline myopathy is a form of nemaline myopathy common among the Old Order Amish. In the first months of life, affected infants
