Any nemaline myopathy in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the LMOD3 gene.
Features include always present findings: Facial palsy, Generalized muscle weakness, Bulbar palsy, and Feeding difficulties and others; and common findings: Polyhydramnios, Decreased fetal movement, and Premature birth. 18 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Muscles | 9 | Skeletal muscle atrophy, Generalized muscle weakness, Flexion contracture |
LMOD3 encodes leiomodin 3 (560 aa). Essential for the organization of sarcomeric actin thin filaments in skeletal muscle. Increases the rate of actin polymerization Highest expression in Muscle Skeletal (153.1 TPM) and Heart Left Ventricle (38.2 TPM).
Nemaline myopathy 10 is caused by mutations in the LMOD3 gene on chromosome 3.
LMOD3 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for LMOD3 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 10 always present features, 3 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for nemaline myopathy 10.
12 publications have been identified in PubMed for nemaline myopathy 10. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (50%), Basic Science / Preclinical (25%), and Epidemiology / Natural History (17%).
