MTOR and Miyoshi myopathy: Like our results, Stockwin et al.  found no significant association with the age of their patients [30]. However, they found a significant correlation between mTOR expression and male gender in the MM patients (p = 0.04) and Vajpayee et al. found a significant correlation between mTOR expression and male gender in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBDL) patients (85% vs. 46%, p < 0.01) [46]. However, the former study showed a male to female ratio 1:0.72 and the latter a male to female ratio 1.89:1 and this is different from our studied population ratio which is 1.58:1.
