X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy in a Female Patient with a Pathogenic Variant in the <i>MTM1</i> Gene

Abstract

X-linked centronuclear myopathy is caused by pathogenic variants in the MTM1 gene, which encodes myotubularin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P) phosphatase. This form of congenital myopathy predominantly affects males. This study presents a case of X-linked myotubular myopathy in a female carrier of a pathogenic c.1261-10A>G variant in the MTM1 gene.
