Summaries for Nemaline Myopathy 4

About this section
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 76 Cap myopathy 2: A rare congenital skeletal muscle disorder characterized by the presence of cap-like structures which are well demarcated and peripherally located under the sarcolemma and show abnormal accumulation of sarcomeric proteins. Clinical features are early onset of hypotonia and non-progressive or slowly progressive muscle weakness. Respiratory problems are common. Nemaline myopathy 4: 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. Nemaline myopathy type 4 presents from infancy to childhood with hypotonia and moderate-to-severe proximal weakness with minimal or no progression. Major motor milestones are delayed but independent ambulation is usually achieved, although a wheelchair may be needed in later life.

MalaCards based summary : Nemaline Myopathy 4, also known as cap myopathy 2, is related to cap myopathy and nemaline myopathy 1, and has symptoms including waddling gait An important gene associated with Nemaline Myopathy 4 is TPM2 (Tropomyosin 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Cell cycle and Transcriptional misregulation in cancer. Affiliated tissues include skeletal muscle, and related phenotypes are high palate and muscular hypotonia

Disease Ontology : 12 A nemaline myopathy that has material basis in heterozygous mutation in the TPM2 gene on chromosome 9p13.
