Welcome. Myotubular Myopathy is a rare muscle condition which affects mostly boys at birth, and sometimes an even rarer form develops later in life affecting both boys and girls. It causes profound muscle weakness.
When the filament proteins fail to do their jobs, muscles canât contract properly, causing a loss of tone and strength. At least one myopathy (a type of myotubular myopathy) is caused by mutations in a muscle protein required for normal muscle development.
