Feb 9th, 2021 - Pathogenic variants in TPM2 have been associated with a variable clinical spectrum, including congenital myopathies and distal arthrogryposis, all but one with dominant inheritance. We report the second case of recessively inherited TPM2-related E...

Jan 15th, 2021 - Mutations in the sarcomeric protein titin, encoded by TTN, are emerging as a common cause of myopathies. The diagnosis of a TTN-related myopathy is, however, often not straightforward due to clinico-pathological overlap with other myopathies and t...

Dec 30th, 2020 - Nemaline myopathies are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of congenital myopathies, mainly characterized by muscle weakness, hypotonia and respiratory insufficiency. Here, we report a male foetus of consanguineous parents with a sev...

Dec 23rd, 2020 - Congenital myopathies include a wide range of genetically determined disorders characterized by muscle weakness that usually manifest shortly after birth. To date, two different homozygous loss-of-function variants in the HACD1 gene have been repo...

Dec 17th, 2020 - Congenital myopathies (CMs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of hereditary muscular disorders. The distribution of genetic and histologic subtypes has been addressed in only a few cohorts, and the relationship between phenotype...
