Abstract

Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is a heterogenous group of inherited disorders caused by genetic defects that affect transmission of signals from nerve terminals to muscle endplates at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) [1-4]. Based on the site and biochemical mechanism of the underlying defect, they are classified in presynaptic, synaptic (basal lamina-associated), and postsynaptic subcategories of CMS. The recent classification takes into account defects in protein glycosylation causing CMS [2]. These abnormal proteins are located at different sites of the endplate.
