P.107Clinical changes over time in patients with centronuclear myopathy due to mutations in DNM2 gene enrolled in a European prospective natural history study

Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterized by the presence of hypotrophic myofibers with centrally placed nuclei on muscle biopsies. CNM exists in 3 forms: i) X-linked recessive caused by mutations in the MTM gene encoding for the myotubularin protein (OMIM 310400), ii) autosomal dominant caused by mutations in the DNM2 gene encoding for the dynamin 2 protein (OMIM 160150) and iii) autosomal recessive form due to mutations in the BIN1 gene encoding for the amphyphysin 2 protein (OMIM 255200).
