ABSTRACT
Biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene encoding nebulin (NEB) are a known cause of congenital myopathy. We present two brothers with congenital myopathy and compound heterozygous variants (NC_000002.12g.151692086G>T; NM_001271208.2 c.2079C>A; p.(Cys693Ter) and NC_000002.12g.151533439T>C; NM_001271208.2c.21522+3A>G ) in NEB. Transcriptomic sequencing on affected individual muscle revealed that the extended splice variant c.21522+3A>G causes exon 144 skipping. Nebulin isoforms containing exon 144 are known to be mutually exclusive with isoforms containing exon 143, and these isoforms are differentially expressed during development and in adult skeletal muscles. Affected individuals MRI patterns of muscle involvement were compared to the known pattern of relative abundance of these two isoforms in muscle. We propose that the pattern of muscle involvement in these affected individuals better fits the distribution of exon 144-containing isoforms in muscle than with previously published MRI findings in NEB-related disease due to other variants. Our report introduces disease pathogenesis and manifestation as a result of alteration of isoform distributions in muscle.
