   Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by defects of several types at the neuromuscular junction. The effects of the disease are similar to Lambert-Eaton Syndrome and myasthenia gravis, the difference being that CMS is not an autoimmune disorder. There are only 600 known family cases of this disorder ...

   Myasthenia gravis affects 50 to 200 people per million. [3] [4] It is newly diagnosed in 3 to 30 people per million each year. [13] Diagnosis has become more common due to increased awareness. [13] Myasthenia gravis most commonly occurs in women under the age of 40 and in men over the age of 60. [1] [5] [14] It is uncommon in children. [1]

   Transient neonatal myasthenia gravis is a very rare condition in which a mother with myasthenia gravis passes down her myasthenia gravis-inducing antibodies to her fetus through the placenta, causing the fetus to be born with antibodies that attach to self-antigens at the neuromuscular junction.(reference 12) Most cases of transient neonatal ...

   Neuromuscular disease can also be diagnosed by various blood tests and using electrodiagnostic medicine tests [23] including electromyography [24] (measuring electrical activity in muscles) and nerve conduction studies. [25] Genetic testing is an important part of diagnosing inherited neuromuscular conditions. [23]
