The myotubular myopathies: differential diagnosis of the X linked recessive, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive forms and present state of DNA studies Wallgren-Pettersson C; Clarke A; Samson F; Fardeau M; Dubowitz V; Moser H; Grimm T; Barohn RJ; Barth PGJ Med Genet 1995[Sep]; 32 (9): 673-9Clinical differences exist between the three forms of myotubular myopathy. They differ regarding age at onset, severity of the disease, and prognosis, and also regarding some of the clinical characteristics. The autosomal dominant form mostly has a later onset and milder course than the X linked form, and the autosomal recessive form is intermediate in both respects. These differences are, however, quantitative rather than qualitative. Muscle biopsy studies of family members are useful in some cases, and immunohistochemical staining of desmin and vimentin may help distinguish between the X linked and autosomal forms. Determining the mode of inheritance and prognosis in individual families, especially those with a single male patient, still poses a problem. Current molecular genetic results indicate that the gene for the X linked form is located in the proximal Xq28 region. Further molecular genetic studies are needed to examine the existence of genetic heterogeneity in myotubular myopathy and to facilitate diagnosis.|*Genes, Dominant[MESH]|*Genes, Recessive[MESH]|DNA/*analysis[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Genetic Linkage[MESH]|Genetic Markers[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Muscles/pathology[MESH]|Muscular Diseases/diagnosis/*genetics[MESH]|Pedigree[MESH]|X Chromosome/*genetics[MESH] |
