Does not support clinical translation; leaves open a novel satellite cell repair mechanism in nemaline myopathy for human validation.
Sanoudou et al. (2006) studied Nemaline myopathy. Met9Arg mutation of alpha-tropomyosin slow (Tpm3) vs. Non-affected mice was evaluated on Gene expression patterns and markers of muscle repair. A mouse model of nemaline myopathy carrying the human Met9Arg mutation of Tpm3 demonstrated elevated markers of satellite cells and immature fibers, indicating a novel repair process.
