OMIM : ⁵⁸ Nemaline myopathy-2 is an autosomal recessive skeletal muscle disorder with a wide range of severity. The most common clinical presentation is early-onset (in infancy or childhood) muscle weakness predominantly affecting proximal limb muscles. Muscle biopsy shows accumulation of Z-disc and thin filament proteins into aggregates named 'nemaline bodies' or 'nemaline rods,' usually accompanied by disorganization of the muscle Z discs. The clinical and histologic spectrum of entities caused by variants in the NEB gene is a continuum, ranging in severity from the severe form with perinatal onset and fetal death to milder forms with later onset. The distribution of weakness can vary from generalized muscle weakness, more pronounced in proximal limb muscles, to distal-only involvement, although neck flexor weakness appears to be rather consistent. Histologic patterns range from a severe usually nondystrophic disturbance of the myofibrillar pattern to an almost normal pattern, with or without nemaline bodies, sometimes combined with cores (summary by Lehtokari et al., 2014). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of nemaline myopathy, see NEM3 (161800). Mutations in the NEB gene are the most common cause of nemaline myopathy (Lehtokari et al., 2006). (256030)

MalaCards based summary : Nemaline Myopathy 2, also known as nemaline myopathy 2, autosomal recessive, is related to intermediate congenital nemaline myopathy and childhood-onset nemaline myopathy, and has symptoms including generalized muscle weakness, waddling gait and facial paresis. An important gene associated with Nemaline Myopathy 2 is NEB (Nebulin), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Vascular smooth muscle contraction and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Susceptibility Pathways. Affiliated tissues include skeletal muscle and eye, and related phenotypes are low-set ears and high palate

Disease Ontology : ¹² A nemaline myopathy that has material basis in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the NEB gene on chromosome 2q23.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁶ Nemaline myopathy 2: A form of nemaline myopathy. Nemaline myopathies are muscular disorders characterized by muscle weakness of varying severity and onset, and abnormal thread-like or rod-shaped structures in muscle fibers on histologic examination.
