Abstract excerpt
X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a severe form of centronuclear myopathy, characterized by generalized weakness and respiratory insufficiency, associated with pathogenic variants in the MTM1 gene. NGS targeted sequencing on the DNA of a three-month-old child affected by XLMTM identified the novel hemizygous MTM1 c.1261-5T>G intronic variant, which interferes with the normal splicing process, generating two...
