• A 10-year-old girl studied with genetic, clinical, electrodiagnostic, and histopathologic methods showed evidence for both nemaline rod myopathy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Although Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease was documented in the family, no other members were found to have clinical and electrodiagnostic evidence for a primary myopathy.
