Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders that lead to abnormal neuromuscular transmission. Post-synaptic mutations are the main cause of CMS, particularly mutations in . We report a novel homozygous pathogenic variant in two Egyptian siblings showing a CMS. Interestingly, they showed different degrees of extraocular and skeletal muscle involvement; both presented only a partial response to cholinesterase inhibitors, and rapidly and substantially ameliorated after the addition of oral β2 adrenergic agonists. Here, we enlarge the genetic spectrum of -related congenital myasthenic syndromes and highlight the importance of a β2 adrenergic agonists treatment.
先天性肌无力综合征(CMS)是导致神经肌肉传递异常的遗传性疾病。突触后突变是CMS的主要原因,尤其是 中的突变。我们报告了在两名患有CMS的埃及兄弟姐妹中发现的一种新的纯合致病性变异。有趣的是,他们表现出不同程度的眼外肌和骨骼肌受累;两人对胆碱酯酶抑制剂均仅呈现部分反应,而在添加口服β2肾上腺素能激动剂后迅速且显著改善。在此,我们扩大了与 相关的先天性肌无力综合征的遗传谱,并强调了β2肾上腺素能激动剂治疗的重要性。
