Basophilic accumulations, which stained intensely with the NADH-TR reaction, were present in both fibre types. Electron microscopy revealed that these consisted of tightly packed parallel tubular arrays.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report the case of a man who presented with AHRF secondary to tubular aggregate myopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Myopathies in which tubular aggregates are the defining feature are rare and either present with progressive muscle weakness or exercise induced myalgia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The major pathological feature was the presence of tubular aggregates, believed to arise from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which are present in skeletal muscles only.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a first Korean case of presumably dominantly inherited primary tubular aggregate myopathy in a 19-yr-old man, who presented with slowly progressive proximal muscle stiffness and weakness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
All patients had a mild, late onset TAM revealed by asymptomatic creatine kinase (CK) elevation and congenital miosis consistent with a Stormorken-like Syndrome, in the absence of thrombocytopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] tubular aggregates in 1991, but the reasons why were unclear. [11] Last updated: 12/28/2016 The symptoms and severity of tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) can vary from person to person, even within the same family. [2] [4] Some individuals may even appear asymptomatic[rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
The different distribution patterns shown by variations in the intensity and severity of muscle involvement may help to achieve differential diagnosis, to identify asymptomatic subjects and to follow up myopathic patients [2] – [7].[journals.plos.org]
Chapter First Online: 27 June 2014 Abstract This form of congenital myopathy is characterized by slowly progressive weakness without atrophy, myalgia, cramps, or episodicweakness and by muscle biopsy showing 60–90 % of fibers containing tubular aggregates[link.springer.com]

There is one recent report of respiratory collapse secondary to TAM; this is only one case in 30 years, rarity upon rarity and not a worry.[braintalkcommunities.org]
Tubular aggregates have also been described in mouse models of autoimmune connective tissue diseases 20 and have been described rarely in polymyositis in humans. 21 Although our patient had a familyhistory of arthritis, he had no clinical, biochemical[jnnp.bmj.com]
Examination General physical examination revealed a tall man (1.96 m) with a mild saddlenose deformity and pectus excavatum (fig 1). There were no clinical features of a connective tissue disease.[jnnp.bmj.com]
We present three members of an Italian family affected by tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) and congenital miosis harboring a novel missense mutation in ORAI1.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Missense mutations in the luminal domain have been associated with tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM), while cytosolic mutations can cause Stormorken syndrome, a multisystemic disease associating TAM with asplenia, thrombocytopenia, miosis, ichthyosis,[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
20 January 2017 This paper described three members of an Italian family affected by tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) and congenital miosis harboring a novel missense mutation in ORAI1.[institut-myologie.org]
Activating mutations in STIM1 and ORAI1 cause overlapping syndromes of tubular myopathy and congenital miosis. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014 Mar 18;111(11):4197-202. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1312520111. Epub 2014 Mar 3.[ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
The combination of pupillaryabnormalities and TAs suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction may not explain the full extent of abnormalities in this case.[collections.lib.utah.edu]

Taken together, the presence of reflex activity and the failure of phenylephrine mydriasis indicate that the abnormality is unlikely to be neuropathic in origin.[jnnp.bmj.com]

The biggest downer is being told by the medical profession that they know nothing about it and that there is no treatment. There definitely is treatment that helps some TAM folk.[braintalkcommunities.org]

In recent years, MDA-supported scientists have learned that centronuclear myopathies encompass a larger group of diseases than just X-linked myotubular myopathy, and that these types often have a better prognosis than the X-linked type.[mda.org]

Altogether, these results pave the way for understanding the etiology of this rare neuromuscular disorder that may be considered as a “tubular aggregates myopathy with synaptopathy”.[springermedizin.de]

Tubular aggregates derive from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and are believed to represent an adaptive mechanism to regulate an increased intracellular level of calcium and prevent hypercontraction and necrosis of muscle fibers.[link.springer.com]
