Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) comprise a group of inherited disorders that impair signal transduction as well as the structural integrity of the neuromuscular junction. Since there are several gene mutations associated with CMS, including the rare GFPT1 gene, the clinical presentation of this condition is quite variable. Importantly, patients with the same genotype can exhibit different clinical features.

MSMO1 deficiency (OMIM #616834) is an ultrarare autosomal recessive disorder of distal cholesterol metabolism with only five cases reported to date. The disorder is caused by missense variants in the MSMO1 gene encoding methylsterol monooxygenase 1, leading to the accumulation of methylsterols. Clinically, MSMO1 deficiency is characterized by growth and developmental delay, often in association with congenital cataracts, microcephaly, psoriasiform dermatitis and immune dysfunction.

However, these motor disorders, muscle weakness, hypotonia, and impaired selective movements should also be discriminated across the range of presentations and along the lifespan.
