Nemaline myopathy caused by mutations in the nebulin gene may present as a distal myopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the nebulin gene are the main cause of autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy, with clinical presentations ranging from mild to severe disease. We have previously reported a nonspecific distal myopathy caused by homozygous missense mutations in the nebulin gene in six Finnish patients from four different families.
