Fatigue and Muscle Atrophy in a Mouse Model of Myasthenia Gravis Is Paralleled by Loss of Sarcolemmal nNOS [PDF]
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) patients suffer from chronic fatigue of skeletal muscles, even after initiation of proper immunosuppressive medication. Since the localization of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) at the muscle membrane is important for ...

Clinical Variability and Genotype‐Driven Outcomes in CHRND‐Related Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome
Clinical variability in CHRND‐related congenital myasthenic syndrome ranges from isolated ocular involvement to severe neonatal‐onset disease with respiratory insufficiency. In a multicenter cohort of nine patients, ocular symptoms represented the core phenotype, while disease severity was influenced by genotype and presumed residual acetylcholine ...

ABSTRACT Objectives TUBA4A pathogenic variants are associated with ALS, frontotemporal dementia, spastic ataxia, spasticity, ataxia, Parkinson's disease, female infertility, macrothrombocytopenia, and myopathy. Four recently reported patients with TUBA4A neonatal/childhood onset myopathy had also a decrement on repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS), but ...
