Abstract
X-linked myotubular myopathy, included in the
centronuclear myopathies (CNM), is a severe
congenital disorder caused by mutations of the
gene MTM1. With a recessive hereditary pattern
linked to the X chromosome, this disorder
shows a varied symptomatology and a specific
histopathological pattern. The current treatment
of this rare disease is still undergoing research,
although gene therapy is being focalized.
