Informations générales
X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy (MTM1 or XLMTM) is a muscle disease characterised by early onset and the presence of uniformly small muscle fibers with centrally placed nuclei resembling fetal myotubes. The disorder is caused by an X-linked recessive mutation to the gene MTM1.
The variant of the disorder analysed in this test is found in the Labrador Retriever. Related variants have been observed in the Rottweiler and Boykin Spaniel.
Caractéristiques cliniques
This disease is characterised by severe muscle atrophy, absence of patellar reflexes and a dropped jaw caused by weakness of the muscles of mastication.
