Abstract excerpt
Centronuclear myopathies (CNMs) are rare congenital disorders characterized by muscle weakness, fiber hypotrophy, and organelle mislocalization. Most cases arise from mutations in MTM1 or DNM2, encoding myotubularin and dynamin-2, respectively. DNM2 is a GTPase that binds lipids, oligomerizes around membranes, and mediates fission. We previously showed that DNM2 levels are elevated in MTM1-CNM patients and...
