“…Additionally, a specific de novo mutation in ACTA1 was found in a newborn with congenital episodic stiffness, hypertrophic muscles and nemaline rod muscle pathology. 14 Our report is the first to demonstrate specific TPM3 deletions as the cause of a novel phenotypic manifestation of marked and generalized congenital muscle stiffness. This phenotype is notable for an absence of muscle weakness in combination with muscle stiffness, so severe that it can result in early ventilatory failure, likely due to an inability of respiratory muscle relaxation, as evidenced by the high inspiratory pressures required during mechanical ventilation in P2.…”

“…This study expands the clinical, phenotypic, and pathophysiological spectrum of TPM3 mutations, which now join a specific ACTA1 mutation as well as recessive αβ-crystallin ( CRYAB ) mutations as a myogenic cause for significant neonatal muscle rigidity. 14,15 …”

“…Tropomyosin was rotated by 180° and shifted to the right to allow a better view of the F-actin–tropomyosin interface. Difference maps of the glutardialdehyde–bare F-actin and the tropomyosin–bare F-actin map are shown on the F-actin surface at pH 7.5 (left) and pH 4.0 (middle), respectively 15,65 .…”

“…For instance, M531R mutants in the motor domain of the human β/slow-cardiac myosin molecule have been shown to be stronger motors and have been suggested to interrupt myosin head putative interactions with other proteins (eg, myosin-binding protein C) resulting in hyperdynamic heart 18. In contrast to congenital cardiomyopathies where a vast number of mutations have hypercontractile consequences, most of skeletal myopathies-related mutations induce hypocontractility and overall weakness,17 19–21 with only a few exceptions contributing to muscle stiffness and/or hypertonia 22 23…”
