FOR OUR COMMUNITY

We are dedicated to our mission of finding treatments for Nemaline Myopathy, while providing support and resources to the Nemaline Myopathy community.

You Can Make A Difference

Nemaline Myopathy (NM) is a rare muscle disease that affects all the skeletal muscles in the body, causing muscle weakness.

NM varies greatly in severity, from mild symptoms to premature mortality. It does not affect brain development or cognitive function. Currently no Nemaline Myopathy treatments or disease modifying therapies exist, but A Foundation Building Strength is working aggressively to change this.
