We describe a 12-year-old girl with congenital myopathy. ATPase histochemical reactions and immunocytochemical analysis of muscle fiber-type composition with monoclonal antibodies against slow, fast (2A and 2B) and fetal myosin demonstrate that this congenital disease is characterized by type 2A muscle fiber uniformity and smallness. This is an unusual feature for a congenital myopathy in which the fiber type predominance, when present, is confined to type I.

D015879 Myosin Subfragments Parts of the myosin molecule resulting from cleavage by proteolytic enzymes (PAPAIN; TRYPSIN; or CHYMOTRYPSIN) at well-localized regions. Study of these isolated fragments helps to delineate the functional roles of different parts of myosin. Two of the most common subfragments are myosin S-1 and myosin S-2. S-1 contains the heads of the heavy chains plus the light chains and S-2 contains part of the double-stranded, alpha-helical, heavy chain tail (myosin rod).
