An adult nemaline myopathy patient with respiratory and heart failure harboring a novel NEB variant

open access: yeseNeurologicalSci, 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

A rare structural myopathy: nemaline myopathy [PDF]

open access: yesTürk Pediatri Arşivi, 2018
Nemaline myopathy, which is characterized by the accumulation of ''rod'' bodies in muscle fibers is a very rare inherited muscle disease. According to the underlying mutation, the disease has varying severity of clinical outcomes. Patients with severe forms of the disease die because of hypotonia, feeding difficulties, aspiration pneumonia, and ...

Testing of therapies in a novel nebulin nemaline myopathy model demonstrate a lack of efficacy

open access: yesActa 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 ...

Molecular signatures of inherited and acquired sporadic late onset nemaline myopathies

open access: yesActa 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.
