Cellular Fate of Truncated Slow Skeletal Muscle Troponin T Produced by Glu180 Nonsense Mutation in Amish Nemaline Myopathy
24 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
A nonsense mutation at codon Glu180 in exon 11 of slow skeletal muscle troponin T (TnT) gene (TNNT1) causes an autosomal-recessive inherited nemaline myopathy. We previously reported the absence of intact or prematurely terminated slow TnT polypeptide in Amish nemaline myopathy (ANM) patient muscle. The present study further investigates the expression and fate of mutant slow TnT in muscle cells. Intact slow TnT...
