Abstract excerpt
We studied the ultrastructural characteristics in patients with myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) and differentiated between MFM-subtypes using electron microscopic (EM) findings. The ultrastructural findings in 19 patients with different genetically proven MFMs (9 desmin, 5 alphaB-crystallin, 3 ZASP, 2 myotilin) were analyzed. In one ZASPopathy, we additionally performed an immunoEM study, using antibodies against...
