Key result
Deletion of the cardiac troponin I gene segment knocked down slow troponin T expression, leading to diaphragm muscle atrophy and significantly reduced fatigue tolerance compared with wild type controls.
Deletion of the cardiac TnI gene segment impairs slow TnT expression and diaphragm fatigue tolerance, highlighting the role of slow TnT in the pathogenesis of Amish nemaline myopathy.

Feng et al. (2009) studied Amish nemaline myopathy. Deletion of cardiac TnI gene segment (ssTnT-KD) vs. Wild type controls was evaluated on Slow TnT gene expression and diaphragm muscle fatigue tolerance. Deletion of the cardiac troponin I gene segment knocked down slow troponin T expression, leading to diaphragm muscle atrophy and significantly reduced fatigue tolerance compared with wild type controls.
