For people with Centronuclear Myopathy Subtype of Titinopathy

There are several other registries relevant to myotubular and centronuclear myopathy which also have global coverage, and it can be hard to know which one to join. This choice is up to you; and if you are eligible, you can join as many registries as you like. We all work together to achieve our goals.

Whether you join one registry or all of them, it is very important that you complete all the information fully and keep it up to date when prompted. This helps us to understand your data correctly and avoid double-counting if we do research together in future.

You are now on the website for Team Titin which supports the Congenital Muscle Disease International Registry: www.cmdir.org
