MYASTHENIC SYNDROME, CONGENITAL, 20, PRESYNAPTIC; CMS20

Description

Congenital myasthenic syndrome-20 is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by severe hypotonia associated with episodic apnea soon after birth. Patients have muscle weakness resulting in delayed walking, ptosis, poor sucking and swallowing, and generalized limb fatigability and weakness. EMG studies usually show a decremental response to repetitive nerve stimulation, and some patients may show a good response to AChE inhibitors (summary by Bauche et al., 2016).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of CMS, see CMS1A (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of MYASTHENIC SYNDROME, CONGENITAL, 20, PRESYNAPTIC; CMS20

  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Scoliosis
  • Muscle weakness
  • Ptosis
  • Cognitive impairment

PRESYNAPTIC CONGENITAL MYASTHENIC SYNDROMES

Description

Myasthenia gravis is a disease that causes weakness in the muscles under your control. It happens because of a problem in communication between your nerves and muscles. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease. Your body's own immune system makes antibodies that block or change some of the nerve signals to your muscles. This makes your muscles weaker. Common symptoms are trouble with eye and eyelid movement, facial expression and swallowing. But it can also affect other muscles. The weakness gets worse with activity, and better with rest. There are medicines to help improve nerve-to-muscle messages and make muscles stronger. With treatment, the muscle weakness often gets much better. Other drugs keep your body from making so many abnormal antibodies. There are also treatments which filter abnormal antibodies from the blood or add healthy antibodies from donated blood. Sometimes surgery to take out the thymus gland helps. For some people, myasthenia gravis can go into remission and they do not need medicines. The remission can be temporary or permanent. If you have myasthenia gravis, it is important to follow your treatment plan. If you do, you can expect your life to be normal or close to it.

NEURONOPATHY, DISTAL HEREDITARY MOTOR, TYPE VIIA; HMN7A

Alternate names

NEURONOPATHY, DISTAL HEREDITARY MOTOR, TYPE VIIA; HMN7A Is also known as spinal muscular atrophy, distal, with vocal cord paralysis, neuropathy, distal hereditary motor, type viia, hmn viia, dhmn7a, harper-young myopathy, dhmnvp

Description

Distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type VIIa is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by onset in the second decade of progressive distal muscle wasting and weakness affecting the upper and lower limbs and resulting in walking difficulties and hand grip. There is significant muscle atrophy of the hands and lower limbs. The disorder is associated with vocal cord paresis due to involvement of the tenth cranial nerve (summary by Barwick et al., 2012).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of distal HMN, see HMN type I (HMN1 ).

Most common symptoms of NEURONOPATHY, DISTAL HEREDITARY MOTOR, TYPE VIIA; HMN7A

  • Hearing impairment
  • Sensorineural hearing impairment
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Skeletal muscle atrophy
  • Tremor

DISTAL HEREDITARY MOTOR NEUROPATHY TYPE 7

Alternate names

DISTAL HEREDITARY MOTOR NEUROPATHY TYPE 7 Is also known as dhmn7, distal spinal muscular atrophy with vocal cord paralysis

Description

Distal hereditary motor neuropathy type 7 is a rare, slowly progressive genetic peripheral neuropathy characterized by distal atrophy and weakness affecting the upper limbs (with a predilection for the thenar eminence) and subsequently the lower limbs, associated with uni- or bilateral vocal cord paresis leading to hoarse voice and breathing difficulties, and facial weakness.
