X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy in a Family With Three Adult Survivors

open access: yesClinical Genetics, 2003
We describe a family with an extremely mild form of X‐linked myotubular myopathy. Three affected males survived to adulthood with sufficient muscle strength to enable them to carry out normal daily activities. The mildness of the myopathy in this family is highlighted by the following: no neonatal or infant mortality resulting from the myopathy; one ...

X-Inactivation Patterns in Carriers of X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy

open access: yesNeuromuscular Disorders, 2003
X-linked myotubular myopathy is a rare severe muscle disorder in affected male neonates. Most female carriers are free from symptoms. Skewed X inactivation has been proposed to be responsible for the affected phenotype seen in some carriers.

X-Linked Myotubular and Centronuclear Myopathies. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 2005
Recent work has significantly enhanced our understanding of the centronuclear myopathies and, in particular, myotubular myopathy. These myopathies share similar morphologic appearances with other diseases, namely the presence of hypotrophic myofibers with prominent internalized or centrally placed nuclei.

X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy and Chylothorax

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2008
X-linked myotubular myopathy usually presents at birth with hypotonia and respiratory distress. Phenotypic presentation, however, can be extreme variable. We report on a newborn baby, who presented with the severe form of the disease. In the second week of life, he developed a clinically relevant chylothorax, needing drainage and treatment with ...

Early and Severe Presentation of X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy in a Girl With Skewed X-Inactivation

open access: yesNeuromuscular Disorders, 2003
X-linked myotubular myopathy is a severe congenital myopathy in males, caused by mutations in the myotubularin (MTM1) gene on chromosome Xq28. In heterozygous carriers of MTM1 mutations, clinical symptoms are usually absent or only mild.We report a 6 ...
