Svensk definition
En heterogen grupp sjukdomar som kännetecknas av en medfödd defekt i signalöverföringen vid nerv-muskelförbindelsen. Dessa kan vara både presynaptiska, synaptiska eller postsynaptiska (som inte har autoimmuna orsaker). De flesta av dessa sjukdomar beror på mutationer av olika underenheter av nikotinacetylkolinreceptorn på kontaktens postsynaptiska yta.
Engelsk definition
A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by a congenital defect in neuromuscular transmission at the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION. This includes presynaptic, synaptic, and postsynaptic disorders (that are not of autoimmune origin). The majority of these diseases are caused by mutations of various subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (RECEPTORS, NICOTINIC) on the postsynaptic surface of the junction. (From Arch Neurol 1999 Feb;56(2):163-7)
