Abstract
Mutations in ACTA1 cause a group of myopathies with expanding clinical and histopathological heterogeneity. We describe three patients with severe ACTA1-related myopathy who have muscle fiber cytoplasmic bodies but no classic nemaline rods. Patient 1 is a five-year-old boy who presented at birth with severe weakness and respiratory failure, requiring mechanical ventilation. Whole exome sequencing identified a heterozygous c.282C>A (p.Asn94Lys)...
