Pragmatic Phenotype–Electrophysiology–Genomics Integration in Pediatric Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes: Insights From 36 Patients in a Single‐Center Study in China

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
In 36 Chinese pediatric CMS patients, integrated phenotype, RNS, and genomic assessment revealed marked genetic heterogeneity across 17 CMS‐associated genes and frequent VUS‐related uncertainty. Genotype‐informed therapy improved MG‐ADL scores, while CHAT‐CMS identified a high‐risk subgroup for early respiratory failure and mortality.

AGRN‐, LRP4‐, MUSK‐Related CMS: Clinical, Neurophysiological, Morphological, Genetic and Pathological Mechanisms

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue S1, Page S31-S40, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins essential for neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function. Pathogenic variants have been identified in more than 35 genes, underscoring the complexity of synaptic biology and the wide range of mechanisms that can compromise neuromuscular ...

The Differing Phenotypes of the Three Most Common Postsynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes Governed by Their Underlying Molecular Pathogenic Mechanisms

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue S1, Page S52-S57, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The congenital myasthenic syndromes are rare disorders of impaired signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction. Despite next generation sequencing facilitating the identification of variants in myasthenic‐associated genes, these variants are frequently of unknown significance and the clinical diagnosis can be delayed.

Limb girdle muscular dystrophies: The clinicopathological viewpoint

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2007
Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are characterized by involvement of the pelvic and shoulder girdles, classically with an onset in the second or third decade and a slow progression as opposed to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In fact, there are many

Efficient engraftment of pluripotent stem cell-derived myogenic progenitors in a novel immunodeficient mouse model of limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2I

Skeletal Muscle, 2020
Background Defects in α-dystroglycan (DG) glycosylation characterize a group of muscular dystrophies known as dystroglycanopathies. One of the key effectors in the α-DG glycosylation pathway is the glycosyltransferase fukutin-related protein (FKRP ...

Circulating small RNA signatures differentiate accurately the subtypes of muscular dystrophies: small-RNA next-generation sequencing analytics and functional insights

RNA Biology, 2022
Muscular dystrophies are a group of rare and severe inherited disorders mainly affecting the muscle tissue. Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, Myotonic Dystrophy types 1 and 2, Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy are some ...

Muscle‐Specific Kinase Signaling and Its Therapeutic Potential

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue S1, Page S65-S75, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is compromised in many neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) such as autoimmune or congenital myasthenia gravis (MG), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and muscular dystrophies.

Dystrophic muscle distribution in late-stage muscular dystrophy

Autopsy and Case Reports, 2021
There is scant information about the comprehensive distribution of dystrophic muscles in muscular dystrophy. Despite different clinical presentations of muscular dystrophy, a recent multi-center study concluded that phenotypic distribution of dystrophic ...

Exploring the Content Validity of Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures to Capture the Patient Experience of Becker Muscular Dystrophy

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 559-569, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The patient experience of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is not well understood, making it difficult to evaluate the conceptual relevance of proposed patient‐reported outcome (PRO) measures. This study aimed to conceptualize the patient experience of BMD and evaluate content validity and perceptions of meaningful changes of ...

Essential neuromuscular advice for pathologists: Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (second of two parts)

Surgical and Experimental Pathology
Background Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy is defined as a group of progressive autosomal recessive (85%, 28 genes) and autosomal dominant (15%, 5 genes) muscular dystrophies described in at least two unrelated families, affecting individuals that achieve
