Congenital myasthenic syndromes: recent advances.

Abstract excerpt

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) can arise from presynaptic, synaptic, or postsynaptic defects. Mutations of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) that increase or decrease the synaptic response to acetylcholine (ACh) are a common cause of the postsynaptic CMS. An increased response occurs in the slow-channel syndromes. Here, dominant mutations in different AChR subunits and in different domains of the subunits...
