Remarks

Unaffected carrier; heterozygous in exon 170 of the NEB gene for a sequence variant defined as c.24218C>A, which is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Ser8073*); affected daughter is GM25161.

Identified Mutation

c.24218 C>A; Nebulin is a giant protein component of the cytoskeletal matrix that coexists with the thick and thin filaments within the sarcomeres of skeletal muscle. In most vertebrates, nebulin accounts for 3 to 4% of the total myofibrillar protein and its size varies from 600 to 800 kD in a manner that is tissue-, species-, and developmental stage-specific (Stedman et al., 1988). A variety of nebulin isoforms are thought to contribute to the molecular diversity of Z discs (Pelin et al., 1999).
