| Remarks |
Clinically affected; age of diagnosis is 10 weeks; age of symptom onset was at birth; born with severe arthrogryposis and respiratory failure; talipes equinovarus deformity of foot bilaterally; significant genu valgus at the knees; myopathic facial appearance; prominent thoracic kyphoscoliosis with a compensatory exaggerated lumbar lordosis and cervical lordosis; previous significant recurrent respiratory tract infections; nocturnal hypoventilation requiring gastronomy feeds; developmental delay; can use some words and noises to communicate; low level of intellectual functioning; able to mobilize up to a half an hour using a walker frame; de novo heterozygous variant found on exon 3 in ACTA1 gene c.215C>G (p.Pro72Arg); muscle biopsy noted the presence of fuscinophilic rod bodies within some of the muscle fibres studied, nemaline rods in numerous fibres found which led to diagnosis of nemaline rod myopathy; neuropsychological assessment found significant deficits in physical, motor, speech, and expressive language skills; assistive devices include wheelchair, orthotics, communication/learning device, and non-invasive ventilation/walker; medications include L-tryosine; surgeries include gastrostomy, fundoplication, and orchiopexy; uses BiPAP mainly at night; severe respiratory issues began to improve once given antibiotics, regular chest physiotherapy, use of a vibration plate, regular hypertonic saline nebs 3 times per day, and regular suctioning; fibro (GM27145). |
