Nemaline myopathy is a congenital neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and the presence of nemaline rods. Five genes have now been associated with nemaline myopathy: alpha-tropomyosin-3 (TPM3), alpha-actin (ACTA1), nebulin (NEB), beta-tropomysin (TPM2) and troponin T (TNNT1). In addition, mutations in the ryanodine receptor gene (RYR1) have been associated with core-rod myopathy. Here we report...
