Generation of a novel mouse model of nemaline myopathy due to recurrent NEB exon 55 deletion [PDF]

Skeletal Muscle
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.

A case of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure secondary to late onset nemaline rod myopathy: A multi-disciplinary approach [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
Background: Nemaline rod myopathy (NRM) is a rare muscle disorder defined by muscle weakness, respiratory insufficiency, and dysphagia. Respiratory muscle involvement can lead to acute hypercapnic respiratory failure, posing significant challenges in ...

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.

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 ...

A Homozygous Deep Intronic Mutation Alters the Splicing of Nebulin Gene in a Patient With Nemaline Myopathy

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.

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 ...

Generation of two isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell lines from a 10-year-old typical nemaline myopathy patient with a heterozygous dominant c.541G>A (p.Asp179Asn) pathogenic variant in the ACTA1 gene

Stem Cell Research, 2021
Nemaline myopathy (NM) is a congenital myopathy typically characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and the presence of nemaline bodies in myofibres. Approximately 25% of NM cases are caused by variants in ACTA1. We generated two induced pluripotent stem
