17 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in the alpha-skeletal actin gene (ACTA1) result in a variety of inherited muscle disorders characterized by different pathologies and variable clinical phenotypes. Mutations at Val163 in ACTA1 result in pure intranuclear rod myopathy; however, the molecular mechanisms by which mutations at Val163 lead to intranuclear rod formation and muscle weakness are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We...
