Troponin I (TnI) regulates thin filament activation and muscle contraction. Two isoforms, TnI-fast () and TnI-slow (), are predominantly expressed in fast- and slow-twitch myofibers, respectively. variants are a rare cause of arthrogryposis, whereas variants have not been conclusively established to cause skeletal myopathy.
