MTM1 mutations in X-linked myotubular myopathy

Abstract: X‐linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM; MIM# 310400) is a severe congenital muscle disorder caused by mutations in the MTM1 gene. This gene encodes a dual‐specificity phosphatase named myotubularin, defining a large gene family highly conserved through evolution (which includes the putative anti‐phosphatase Sbf1/hMTMR5). We report 29 mutations in novel cases, including 16 mutations not described before. To date, 198 mutations have been identified in unrelated families, accounting for 133 different disease‐associa… Show more

“…The H31 cell line has a genomic deletion of the entire MTM1 (Laporte, Biancalana et al 2000;Laporte, Kress et al 2001) and the G92-628 cell line, referred to as XLCNM patient #2, has a stop mutation in MTM1 at amino acid 37 (Laporte, Biancalana et al 2000;Laporte, Kress et al 2001 …”

“…We also engaged in this task because the scientific community has expressed the importance and the need for establishing a dedicated XLMTM database (mutational and clinical). 23 The implementation and curation of this LSDB followed guidelines reported elsewhere, 32,33 and is registered with the HGVS (LSDB list, http://www.hgvs.org/ dblist/glsdb.html).…”

“…10,35 The largest proportion (93.3%) of pathogenic sequence variants described to date in MTM1 is that comprising small mutations. Since the last published MTM1 mutation update, 23 there has been a disproportional increase of missense and splicing mutations reported in MTM1. This might be attributed to the recent identification of additional XLMTM cases with a milder phenotype, often associated with these types of sequence variants.…”

“…2 Among the most severe myopathies, myotubular myopathy (also called X-linked centronuclear myopathy, XLMTM, OMIM #310400) is associated with neonatal hypotonia, muscle weakness and breathing difficulties in male patients and is due to loss-offunction mutations in the MTM1 gene. [3][4][5][6][7] Histopathological hallmarks comprise fiber hypotrophy and abnormal organelle positioning. 8 Different potential causes of the muscle weakness have been proposed for XLMTM, as triad structural defects, [9][10][11] unbalanced autophagy and protein homeostasis, [12][13][14] satellite cells alterations 15 or anomalies of the neuromuscular junction.…”
