Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of rare diseases due to mutations in neuromuscular junction (NMJ) protein-coding genes. Until now, many mutations encoding postsynaptic proteins as Agrin, MuSK and LRP4 have been identified as responsible for increasingly complex CMS phenotypes. The majority of mutations identified in LRP4 gene causes bone diseases including CLS and sclerosteosis-2 and rare cases of CMS with mutations in LRP4 gene has been described so far...
