Pathogenic TNNI1 variants disrupt sarcomere contractility resulting in hypo- and hypercontractile muscle disease
3 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Troponin I (TnI) regulates thin filament activation and muscle contraction. Two isoforms, TnI-fast ( TNNI2 ) and TnI-slow ( TNNI1 ), are predominantly expressed in fast- and slow-twitch myofibers, respectively. TNNI2 variants are a rare cause of arthrogryposis, whereas TNNI1 variants have not been conclusively established to cause skeletal myopathy. We identified recessive loss-of-function TNNI1 variants as well...
