The child in this vignette presented with proximal leg muscle weakness and facial weakness. He had normal creatine kinase, normal electromyography and muscle biopsy showed features consistent with nemaline myopathy (NM) which was caused by NEB mutation. NM is clinically and genetically heterogeneous; NEB mutations are the most common cause of autosomal
