Abstract excerpt
Troponin T (TnT) is the tropomyosin (Tm)-binding and thin filament-anchoring subunit of troponin and plays a central role in striated muscle contraction. A nonsense mutation in exon 11 of the TNNT1 gene encoding slow skeletal muscle troponin T (ssTnT) truncating the polypeptide chain at Glu(180) causes a lethal recessive nemaline myopathy (NM) in the Amish (ANM). More TNNT1 NM mutations have been reported...
