Medical Stories - XLMTM: The Brave Front

X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM or MTM) is a rare muscle disorder that affects just 1 in 50,000 newborn males, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders.
Medical Stories focuses on two families with children affected by XLMTM: Erin and Mark and their son, Will; and Marie and her two sons, Reid and Paley. United by their love for their children, Erin and Marie also explain how they built a community to support other families affected by the disorder.
