Cytoplasmic body myopathy: familial cases with accumulation of desmin and dystrophin. An immunohistochemical, immunoelectron microscopic and biochemical study.

abstract：:Four of seven patients with nemaline myopathy had severe, rapidly progressing symptoms. These four showed an increase in acid phosphatase activity in muscle fibers demonstrated by histochemistry and cathepsin B&L activity by biochemical measurement. On electron microscopy, nemaline bodies, occasionally disorganized my...
