Congenital myopathy 2a, typical, autosomal dominant
MONDO:0008070An inherited myopathy caused by mutations in the ACTA1 gene, encoding actin, alpha skeletal muscle. The phenotype is highly variable, and as such attempts at classification by clinical features is not optimal. Generally, affected individuals have generalized muscle weakness, typically involving proximal muscles, the face, bulbar and respiratory muscles.
Also known as: ACTA1 nemaline myopathy, CMYO2A, actin accumulation myopathy, actin accumulation myopathy (disorder), actin myopathy, congenital myopathy 2a, typical, autosomal dominant, congenital myopathy with excess of thin filaments, nemaline myopathy caused by mutation in ACTA1

New handheld scanner could replace MRI for muscle disease monitoring
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study is testing a handheld device called mScan that uses a tiny, painless electrical current to measure muscle health. Researchers want to see if it can give similar results to an MRI, but faster and more conveniently. The study involves 150 adults with and without muscle d…
