A case of centronuclear myopathy is presented, showing a rapid course in a 47-year-old male. Clinical and muscular findings were consistent with the diagnosis of centronuclear myopathy. On nerve biopsy, there was evidence of a regenerative process. Electron microscopy showed proliferation of Schwann cells with numerous Büngner's bands and other anomalies. This rare case with peripheral nerve changes may provide evidence to support the hypothesis of peripheral nerve involvement in centronuclear myopathy.

Disruption of extracellular pH and proton-sensing can profoundly impact cellular and protein functions, leading to developmental defects. To visualize changes in extracellular pH in the developing embryo, we generated a zebrafish transgenic line that ubiquitously expresses the ratiometric pH-sensitive fluorescent protein pHluorin2, tethered to the extracellular face of the plasma membrane using a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Monitoring of pHluorin2 with ratiometric fluorescence revealed dynamic and discrete domains of extracellular acidification over the first 72 h of embryonic development.

Introduction: Nemaline myopathy (NM), also known as Nemalinosis, is a rare congenital muscle disease with an incidence of 1 in 50000. It is characterized by nemaline rods in muscle fibers, leading to muscle weakness. We reported a case of NM revealed by cardiac involvement, and we highlighted the challenges in diagnosing this condition as well as its poor prognosis.

BAG3 contributes to the maintenance of proteostasis through chaperone-assisted selective autophagy. This function is impaired by a single amino acid exchange (P209L) in the protein, which causes myofibrillar myopathy-6 (MFM6). This disease manifests as severe skeletal muscle weakness, neuropathy and restrictive cardiomyopathy.

Dyserythropoietic anemia and myopathy syndrome (DAMS) with neonatal losses was recently characterized as an autosomal recessive disorder caused by an frameshift variant in English Springer Spaniels (ESSPs). The frequency and dissemination of the mutation remained unknown. The EHBP1L1 protein is essential for muscle function, and the Rab8/10-EHBP1L1-Bin1-dynamin axis participates in nuclear polarization during the enucleation of erythroblasts.

Neuromuscular disorders (NMD) with neonatal or early infantile onset are usually severe and differ in symptoms, complications, and treatment options. The establishment of a diagnosis relies on the combination of clinical examination, morphological analyses of muscle biopsies, and genetic investigations. Here, we re-evaluated and classified a unique collection of 535 muscle biopsies from NMD infants aged 0-6 months examined over a period of 52 years.
