Deleting exon 55 from the nebulin gene induces severe muscle weakness in a mouse model for nemaline myopathy
Nebulin—a giant sarcomeric protein—plays a pivotal role in skeletal muscle contractility by specifying thin filament length and function. Although mutations in the gene encoding nebulin (NEB) are a frequent cause of nemaline myopathy, the most common non-dystrophic congenital myopathy, the mechanism...
