Coincidence of Nemaline Myopathy and Agenesis of Corpus Callosum in a Newborn Infant: Case Report

Journal of Behçet Uz Children's Hospital, 2019
The diagnosis of the hypotonia at the neonatal period is difficult. In the neonatal period, the differential must include acute illnesses and systemic diseases such as sepsis, congestive heart failure and inborn errors of metabolism. Congenital disorders

Nemaline Myopathy: A Case Report

Case Reports in Neurology, 2021
Generalized weakness in the pediatric and adolescent population is caused by many disorders that affect the neuromuscular axis. As next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming of high yield in replacing more invasive procedures, that is, muscle and nerve

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 ...

Nemaline myopathy-related skeletal muscle α-actin (ACTA1) mutation, Asp286Gly, prevents proper strong myosin binding and triggers muscle weakness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Many mutations in the skeletal muscle α-actin gene (ACTA1) lead to muscle weakness and nemaline myopathy. Despite increasing clinical and scientific interest, the molecular and cellular pathogenesis of weakness remains unclear.

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 ...

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (NCHi023-A) from a 41-year-old male with nemaline myopathy carrying autosomal dominant ACTA1 c.809-10C>A mutation

Stem Cell Research
Nemaline myopathy is a rare genetic condition characterized by weakened muscles due to thread-like rods, called nemaline bodies, in muscle fibers. This condition varies in time of onset and severity.

Generation of two isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell lines from a 1-month-old nemaline myopathy patient harbouring a homozygous recessive c.121C > T (p.Arg39Ter) variant in the ACTA1 gene

Stem Cell Research, 2022
Nemaline myopathy (NM) is a congenital skeletal muscle disorder that typically results in muscle weakness and the presence of rod-like structures (nemaline bodies) in the sarcoplasma and/or in the nuclei of myofibres.

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 analysis of nemaline myopathy in infants reveals distinct common dysregulated proteins and cellular pathways

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundNemaline myopathy is a rare congenital muscle disorder characterized by the presence of nemaline rods, protein aggregates, in muscle fibers. Pathogenic variants in several genes, most commonly NEB and ACTA1, which encode thin filament proteins ...
