The condition Centronuclear / Myotubular Myopathy is a family of rare, inherited diseases of which there are 3 forms, X-Linked, Autosomal Recessive and Autosomal Dominant. The word 'Myopathy' is derived from the Greek language - the word 'Myo' means muscle and the word 'Pathos' means disease. Some doctors may refer to Centronuclear and Myotubular Myopathy as the same condition but more commonly, the term Centronuclear Myopathy is used as an umbrella term for X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy, the other Centronuclear myopathies and their related gene mutations, as per the image below.
