Myotubular myopathy is a serious type of congenital myopathy, particularly the X-linked recessive form (XLMTM).
A case study details a newborn boy exhibiting severe muscle weakness, limited movement, joint deformities, and breathing issues, with muscle biopsy confirming the condition.
Genetic testing identified a new mutation in the MTM1 gene, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach that includes both tissue analysis and genetic evaluation in diagnosing muscle diseases.
