Abstract excerpt
Missense mutations in human TPM3 gene encoding γ-tropomyosin expressed in slow muscle type 1 fibers, were associated with three types of congenital myopathies-nemaline myopathy, cap disease and congenital fiber type disproportion. Functional effects of the following substitutions: Leu100Met, Ala156Thr, Arg168His, Arg168Cys, Arg168Gly, Lys169Glu, and Arg245Gly, were examined in biochemical assays using recombinant...
