Print. Email. Children with myotubular myopathy, a rare, inherited disease, often require a ventilator and most do not reach adulthood. The condition affects an estimated one in 50,000 male newborns and is characterized by weakness in the muscles used for movement and affects the ability to sit, stand, walk and breathe.
Congenital myopathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders that cause hypotonia in infancy or weakness and delayed motor milestones later in childhood. An autosomal dominant form of nemaline myopathy is linked to chromosome 1 (-tropomyosin gene), and a recessive form to chromosome 2.n some cases, myopathies can be caused by a malfunctioning gland (or glands), which produces either too much or too little of the chemical messengers called hormones. Hormones are carried by the blood and one of their many functions is to regulate muscle activity.
