An integration-free iPSC line (SDQLCHi017-A) derived from a patient with nemaline myopathy-2 disease carrying compound heterozygote mutations in NEB gene

Stem Cell Research, 2020
Nemaline myopathy-2 (NEM2) is an autosomal recessive skeletal muscle disorder caused by mutations in the nebulin (NEB) gene. We report the generation and characterization of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line SDQLCHi017-A, derived from a 1-

The Novel ACTC1 p.Gly50Ser Variant Is Associated With Arrhythmia and Secondary Features of HCM Without Hypertrophy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 7, Page 1742-1748, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The key diagnostic criterion for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the presence of otherwise unexplained hypertrophy. Current definitions of HCM rely on specific thresholds to establish a diagnosis, while guideline directed risk stratification algorithms take its magnitude into consideration.

Congenital Myopathies and Muscular Dystrophies: A Single Tertiary Center Experience and Factors Associated With Long‐Term Outcomes

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 121-130, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Data on respiratory, feeding, ambulatory outcomes and prognostic factors for congenital myopathies (CM) and congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) remain limited. Therefore, in this study, we report the characteristics of a large single‐center cohort of patients with CM and CMD, focusing on long‐term outcomes and aiming to ...

The Molecular Diagnosis of Myopathies: Integrating Genomic, Proteomic, and Pathological Insights Toward Precision Medicine

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 15-28, July 2026.
Advances in genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic technologies are transforming the diagnosis of genetic myopathies. When integrated with traditional muscle pathology, multi‐omics approaches improve diagnostic yield, clarify disease mechanisms, and support more precise, mechanism‐based therapeutic strategies for patients with neuromuscular disorders ...

Skeletal muscle‐specific myostatin overexpression promotes muscle oxidative capacity and fatigue resistance in transgenic mice

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 7, Page 3357-3380, 1 July 2026.
Abstract In addition to controlling muscle mass, myostatin may support oxidative metabolism and endurance. Loss of function through gene knockout or post‐natal blockade generally lowers muscle oxidative capacity and increases fatigability. These observations imply that myostatin activation could promote a more oxidative and less fatigable muscle ...

Proteomic profiling of sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2022
Objective To define the proteomic profile of sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM) and explore its pathogenesis. Methods We performed mass spectrometry on laser‐dissected frozen muscle samples from five patients with SLONM, three of whom with an ...

Shoulder Rotation Test: A New Test for Discriminating Between Functional and Structural Weakness

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce the shoulder rotation test, a simple bedside test combining the MRC scoring of shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER), for discriminating between functional weakness (FW) and structural weakness (SW) of the upper limbs.

Understanding the role of KLHL41 interactors in nemaline myopathy [PDF]

, 2016
Nemaline Myopathy is a congenital disorder that is characterized by muscle weakness and limited mobility. Clinically, Nemaline Myopathy is highly heterogeneous, ranging from severe congenital forms with neonatal death to more mild childhood and adult ...

CRISPR Activation Reveals the Spliceogenicity of an Intronic NEB Variant in Fetuses With Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita 6

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 772-777, April 2026.
CRISPR activation of NEB in fibroblasts, followed by RNA‐sequencing, documents spliceogenic effects of a NEB intronic variant. The assay enabled variant reclassification as likely pathogenic, providing molecular diagnosis in fetuses with Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita 6.

Clinical and Pathological Features of Childhood-Onset Nemaline Myopathy: A Report of Four Cases

Case Reports in Medicine, 2012
We examined whether immunological abnormalities can be found in the specimens of four childhood-onset nemaline myopathy (NM) patients without autoimmune diseases. Pathological examination revealed that nemaline rods were found in all specimens.
