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 ...

neb: a zebrafish model of nemaline myopathy due to nebulin mutation

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2012
SUMMARY Nemaline myopathy is one of the most common and severe non-dystrophic muscle diseases of childhood. Patients typically present in infancy with hypotonia, weakness, delayed motor development, and bulbar and respiratory difficulties.

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

Coexistence of central nucleus, cores, and rods: Diagnostic relevance

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2016
Background: Congenital myopathies (CMs) though considered distinct disorders, simultaneous occurrence of central nucleus, nemaline rods, and cores in the same biopsy are scarcely reported. Objective: A retrospective reassessment of cases diagnosed as CMs

Sporadic late onset nemaline myopathy with concurrent dermatological symptoms responding to immunosuppressive treatment

BMC Neurology, 2023
Background Sporadic late onset nemaline myopathy is a rare, progressive muscle disease, presenting in adulthood, mainly affecting proximal limb and bulbar muscles. Muscle biopsies show characteristic nemaline rods.

Generation of two isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell lines from a 4-month-old severe nemaline myopathy patient with a heterozygous dominant c.553C > A (p.Arg183Ser) 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 abnormal thread- or rod-like structures (nemaline bodies) in myofibres.

Respiratory treatment in a patient with nemaline myopathy

Clinics and Practice, 2019
Respiratory involvement of nemaline myopathy is evident on the diaphragm and intercostal muscles function. The present case study aimed to describe the characteristics of the respiratory physiotherapeutic treatment in a patient with nemaline myopathy ...

Profound Hypotonia and Respiratory Failure due to Suspected Nemaline Myopathy in a Preterm Infant

American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2021
Congenital myopathies, such as nemaline myopathy, may present with hypotonia and respiratory failure in the neonatal period. Respiratory function can be further compromised in affected infants by the development of chylous effusions.

The KLHL40 c.1516A>C is a Chinese‐specific founder mutation causing nemaline myopathy 8: Report of six patients with pre‐ and postnatal phenotypes

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Autosomal recessive or compound heterozygous mutations in KLHL40 cause nemaline myopathy 8, which is one of the most severe forms of nemaline myopathy.
