Abstract excerpt
Nemaline myopathy is a human neuromuscular disorder associated with muscle weakness, Z-line accumulations (rods), and myofibrillar disorganization. Disease-causing mutations have been identified in genes encoding muscle thin filament proteins: actin, nebulin, slow troponin T, betaTropomyosin, and alphaTropomyosin(slow). Skeletal muscle expresses three tropomyosin (Tm) isoforms from separate genes:...
