Loss of Tropomodulin4 in the zebrafish mutant träge causes cytoplasmic rod formation and muscle weakness reminiscent of nemaline myopathy

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2014
Nemaline myopathy is an inherited muscle disease that is mainly diagnosed by the presence of nemaline rods in muscle biopsies. Of the nine genes associated with the disease, five encode components of striated muscle sarcomeres.

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

Nemaline myopathy: A report of four cases

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2007
Nemaline myopathies are a group of genetically determined (autosomal dominant/recessive) congenital myopathies characterized by the formation of nemaline rods within muscle fibers.

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

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.

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

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

ACTA1-Related Adult-Onset Scapuloperoneal Myopathy With Cores and Rods. [PDF]

Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol
We report a patient with an adult‐onset, slowly progressive, ACTA1‐related scapuloperoneal myopathy with cores and rods, determined by the heterozygous variant NM_001100.4:c.1001C > T, p.(Pro334Leu). The scapuloperoneal phenotype could represent a distinct subcategory, and the characterisation of this patient with a less severe, different clinical ...

Cytoplasmic body pathology in severe ACTA1-related myopathy in the absence of typical nemaline rods. [PDF]

Neuromuscul Disord, 2017
Mutations in ACTA1 cause a group of myopathies with expanding clinical and histopathological heterogeneity. We describe three patients with severe ACTA1-related myopathy who have muscle fiber cytoplasmic bodies but no classic nemaline rods.

Concurrent Sporadic Late-Onset Nemaline Myopathy and an Excessive Glycogen Accumulation Associated With Monoclonal Gammopathy. [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Background Monoclonal gammopathy‐associated myopathies (MGAMs) include light chain (AL) amyloid myopathy, sporadic late‐onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM), and vacuolar myopathy with monoclonal gammopathy and stiffness (VAMMGAS). These subtypes usually occur separately, although rare overlap has been described. We report a patient with monoclonal

Immunohistochemical Study of Rods in Nemaline Myopathy [PDF]

Immunohistochemical Study of Rods in Nemaline Myopathy
We used immunohistochemistry to study the expression of some proteins of the cytoskeleton (desmin and vimentin) and of the sarcomere (tropomyosin, myosin and actin), in muscle fibers of a patient with nemaline myopathy. Desmin, myosin and actin were present in the regions of rods but not vimentin.

Incidence and Prevalence of Congenital Myopathies - A Population-Based Study From Western Sweden. [PDF]

Ann Neurol
Objective Congenital myopathies are a group of rare genetic muscle disorders. Previous studies have estimated point prevalences which only include surviving individuals. Our aim was to perform an epidemiological study with strict inclusion criteria, using modern diagnostic technology to present both incidences and prevalences, and to describe the ...
