The most common autosomal recessive form of nemaline myopathy is due to mutations in the nebulin gene. Among eight patients studied, we identified one, a 14-year-old girl, with a specific pattern of diffuse rods in muscle fibers. Western blot analysis detected absence of the C-terminal domain of nebulin. Protein analysis may represent a good screening method to direct molecular studies in the case of very large...
