First characterization of congenital myasthenic syndrome type 5 in North Africa

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are associated with defects in the structure and the function of neuromuscular junctions. These rare disorders can result from mutations in the collagenic tail of endplate acetylcholinesterase (COLQ) essentially associated with autosomal recessive inheritance. With the lowered cost of genetic testing and increased access to next-generation sequencing, many mutations have been reported to date.In this study...
