CONGENITAL MYASTHENIC SYNDROMES

Dr Prashant Makhija
INTRODUCTION
 Heterogeneous genetic disorders characterized by compromised
neuromuscular transmission

 Rare (one in 500 000) but an important cause of seronegative
myasthenia
 Clinical manifestations vary by congenital myasthenic syndrome
subtype
 Present signs from birth or shortly after
 mild presentations, go undiagnosed until adolescence or
adulthood
Congenital myasthenic syndromes. Hantaı et al. Current Opinion in Neurology 2004, 17:539–551
Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome: A Brief Review. Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141- 148
ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR

MASC = muscle-associated specificity component; MuSK =muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase
Continuum Lifelong Learning Neurol 2009;15(1)
CLASSIFICATION
 Depending on the location of the primary defect within the
neuromuscular junction

 Presynaptic
 Synaptic
 Postsynaptic

P.J. Lorenzoni et al. / Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141- 148
PRESYNAPTIC DEFECTS
 rarest, affecting an estimated 7-8% of patients
 4 subtypes
 Episodic apnea
 paucity of synaptic vesicles
 “Lambert-Eaton-like”
 other presynaptic defects
SYNAPTIC DEFECTS
 account for approximately 14-15% of patients
 Endplate acetylcholinesterase deficiency
 Abnormal laminin β2 chain

P.J. Lorenzoni et al. / Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141- 148
POSTSYNAPTIC DEFECTS
 75-80% of patients

syndromes at the neuromuscular junction
CLINICAL FEATURES

 Generic features
 Fatigable weakness involving ocular, bulbar, and limb muscles
since infancy or early childhood
 Similarly affected relative
 Decremental EMG response at 2- to 3-Hz stimulation, or abnormal
jitter and blocking on single fiber EMG
 Negative tests for anti-AChR antibodies, MuSK, and P/Q type
calcium channels

A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
 Exceptions
 In some CMS the onset is delayed
 There may be no similarly affected relatives
 EMG abnormalities may not be present in all muscles, or are
present only intermittently

A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
CLINICAL CLUES – SPECIFIC CMS
 Endplate acetylcholinesterase deficiency
 Delayed pupillary light reflex in some cases
 Repetitive CMAPs
 Refractoriness to cholinesterase inhibitors; negative
edrophonium test
 Absence of cholinesterase reactivity from EPs in muscle
specimens

A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
 Slow-channel myasthenic syndrome
 Cranial muscles only mildly affected; slowly progressive
course
 Selectively severe involvement of neck and wrist and finger
extensor muscles in most cases
 Dominant inheritance in nearly all cases
 Repetitive CMAPs
 Worsened by long-term pyridostigmine therapy; little or no
response to edrophonium

A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
 Endplate choline acetyltransferase deficiency
 Recurrent apneic episodes, spontaneous or with fever,
vomiting, or excitement
 No or variable myasthenic symptoms between acute episodes
 Rapsyn deficiency
 Ophthalmoparesis in 25%; strabismus relatively common
 Multiple congenital joint contractures or dysmorphic features
in 30%
 Increased weakness and respiratory insufficiency precipitated by
intercurrent infections

A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
 Dok-7 myasthenia
 Predominantly limb-girdle and axial distribution of weakness,
mild facial weakness, and ptosis are common, and normal ocular
ductions in most patients
 Significant bulbar muscles involvement in some patients
 Can present with stridor and vocal cord paralysis in neonates and
infants
 GFPT1 (GFAT) myasthenia
 Tubular aggregates in muscle in most patients
 Predominantly limb-girdle and axial distribution of weakness
 Responds to pyridostigmine
A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
 Laminin-b2 myasthenia
 Nephrotic syndrome, ocular abnormalities (Pierson syndrome)
 Refractoriness to cholinesterase inhibitors
 Plectin deficiency myasthenia
 Epidermolysis bullosa simplex
 Myasthenic syndrome associated with centronuclear myopathy
 Muscle histology

A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
 Vs Neonatal transient Myasthenia
 +ve h/o MG in mother (affects 10-20% of newborns whose mothers
have autoimmune MG)
 Transient symptoms (usually last < 2wks but may occur upto 12
wks)
 Vs Infantile Botulism
 Suggestive history ( 4mths of age, infants fed with honey)
 Rapidity of symptom progression
 Prominent involvement of ocular & bulbar musculature (pupillary
invovement seen in ~ 50% )

Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
 Vs Juvenile MG (<18 yrs)
 Almost never occurs <1 year of age ( CMS- birth)
 Association with other autoimmune disorders (diabetes, thyroid dx
and JRA, Thymoma rare)
 Seropositivity for AChR Ab (~20% of JMG & ~ 50% those with
prepubertal onset are seronegative )
 +ve response to immunomodulatory therapy
 Spontaneous remission
 Skeletal deformities(scoliosis, lordosis)- favours CMS

Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
 Vs SMA (neonatal & infantile onset)
 neonatal form – diffuse weakness of limb & trunk muscles, facial
sparing or mild involvement , arthrogryposis
 Infantile form- weakness in first 6 mths of life, proximal> distal,
lower> distal
 Relative preservation of diaphragmatic muscle as compared to
abdominal & chest musculature
 Needle EMG- denervation
 Genetic testing- SMN (survival motor neuron gene)

Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
 Vs Congenital myopathies
 Autosomal recessive or X-linked pattern of inheritance
 Diffuse weakness & hypotonia , weakness may be severe but is
typically static or slowly progressive
 Midly elevated CK
 EMG- myopaathic
 Histopathology- type I predominance

Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
 Vs Congenital Muscular dystrophies
 diffuse weakness and hypotonia
 significant elevations in serum CK
 subcortical white matter abnormalities may be seen on
brain MRI , cognition is usually normal
 Epilepsy may occur
 Supportive EMG, Histopatholgy, genetic analysis is confirmatory

Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
 Vs Congenital Myotonic dystophy
 type 1 myotonic dystrophy (~25% of infants born to mothers with
myotonic dystrophy)
 hypotonia and weakness of the face and limbs in infancy
 global developmental delay- intellectual impairment and motor
disability
 Later develop myotonia and other characteristic symptoms
 Electrphysiology & Genetic analysis

Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
TREATMENT
 Presynaptic
 Pyridostigmine- 1 mg/kg every 4 hours (maximal, 7 mg/kg/day,
divided into 5-6 doses
 3,4-DAP- 1 mg/kg/day, divided into 3-4 doses
 Synaptic
 Ephedrine-1 mg/kg/day and slowly increased to a maximum of 3
mg/kg/day, divided into three doses per day
 Albuterol- 0.1 mg/kg/day (maximum, 2 mg/dose) divided into
three doses for children at 2-6 years of age, and 2 mg/dose 2-3
times daily for children between 6-12 years of age

P.J. Lorenzoni et al. / Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141- 148
 Postsynaptic
 Acetylcholine receptor deficiency without kinetic abnormalityPyridostigmine, 3,4-DAP
 Primary kinetic abnormality of the acetylcholine receptor
 Slow-channel syndrome- Quinidine(15-60 mg/kg/day, divided
into 4-6 doses), Fluoxetine(No standard dose)
 Fast-channel syndrome- Pyridostigmine, 3,4-DAP
 Defects of acetylcholine receptor complex- Pyridostigmine , 3,4DAP
 Voltage-gated sodium channel- Pyridostigmine, Acetazolamide
P.J. Lorenzoni et al. / Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141-148
 Agrin deficiency- Ephedrine, 3,4-DAP
 With tubular aggregates- Pyridostigmine
 Other defects(Plectin, With centronuclear myopathy)- 3,4-DAP,
Pyridostigmine

P.J. Lorenzoni et al. / Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141- 148
TREATMENT
CONCLUSION
 CMS should be suspected in any patient with fatigable ocular,
bulbar, or limb weakness presenting in infancy or early childhood

 In older patients who are anti-AChR and anti–MuSK-antibody
negative and fail to respond to immunosuppressant medications
 Certain clinical features, such as a delayed pupillary light reflex,
prominent weakness of finger/wrist extensors, scoliosis, or a
repetitive CMAP, may aid in making a diagnosis in certain cases
 Definitive diagnosis in many cases requires detailed morphologic,
microphysiologic, and genetic studies

Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
  • 11.  Exceptions  In some CMS the onset is delayed  There may be no similarly affected relatives  EMG abnormalities may not be present in all muscles, or are present only intermittently A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
  • 12. CLINICAL CLUES – SPECIFIC CMS  Endplate acetylcholinesterase deficiency  Delayed pupillary light reflex in some cases  Repetitive CMAPs  Refractoriness to cholinesterase inhibitors; negative edrophonium test  Absence of cholinesterase reactivity from EPs in muscle specimens A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111

Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
  • 14.  Endplate choline acetyltransferase deficiency  Recurrent apneic episodes, spontaneous or with fever, vomiting, or excitement  No or variable myasthenic symptoms between acute episodes  Rapsyn deficiency  Ophthalmoparesis in 25%; strabismus relatively common  Multiple congenital joint contractures or dysmorphic features in 30%  Increased weakness and respiratory insufficiency precipitated by intercurrent infections A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
  • 15.  Dok-7 myasthenia  Predominantly limb-girdle and axial distribution of weakness, mild facial weakness, and ptosis are common, and normal ocular ductions in most patients  Significant bulbar muscles involvement in some patients  Can present with stridor and vocal cord paralysis in neonates and infants  GFPT1 (GFAT) myasthenia  Tubular aggregates in muscle in most patients  Predominantly limb-girdle and axial distribution of weakness  Responds to pyridostigmine A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
  • 16.  Laminin-b2 myasthenia  Nephrotic syndrome, ocular abnormalities (Pierson syndrome)  Refractoriness to cholinesterase inhibitors  Plectin deficiency myasthenia  Epidermolysis bullosa simplex  Myasthenic syndrome associated with centronuclear myopathy  Muscle histology A.G. Engel / Neuromuscular Disorders 22 (2012) 99–111
  • 17. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS  Vs Neonatal transient Myasthenia  +ve h/o MG in mother (affects 10-20% of newborns whose mothers have autoimmune MG)  Transient symptoms (usually last < 2wks but may occur upto 12 wks)  Vs Infantile Botulism  Suggestive history ( 4mths of age, infants fed with honey)  Rapidity of symptom progression  Prominent involvement of ocular & bulbar musculature (pupillary invovement seen in ~ 50% ) Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
  • 18.  Vs Juvenile MG (<18 yrs)  Almost never occurs <1 year of age ( CMS- birth)  Association with other autoimmune disorders (diabetes, thyroid dx and JRA, Thymoma rare)  Seropositivity for AChR Ab (~20% of JMG & ~ 50% those with prepubertal onset are seronegative )  +ve response to immunomodulatory therapy  Spontaneous remission  Skeletal deformities(scoliosis, lordosis)- favours CMS Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
  • 19.  Vs SMA (neonatal & infantile onset)  neonatal form – diffuse weakness of limb & trunk muscles, facial sparing or mild involvement , arthrogryposis  Infantile form- weakness in first 6 mths of life, proximal> distal, lower> distal  Relative preservation of diaphragmatic muscle as compared to abdominal & chest musculature  Needle EMG- denervation  Genetic testing- SMN (survival motor neuron gene) Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
  • 20.  Vs Congenital myopathies  Autosomal recessive or X-linked pattern of inheritance  Diffuse weakness & hypotonia , weakness may be severe but is typically static or slowly progressive  Midly elevated CK  EMG- myopaathic  Histopathology- type I predominance Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
  • 21.  Vs Congenital Muscular dystrophies  diffuse weakness and hypotonia  significant elevations in serum CK  subcortical white matter abnormalities may be seen on brain MRI , cognition is usually normal  Epilepsy may occur  Supportive EMG, Histopatholgy, genetic analysis is confirmatory Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
  • 22.  Vs Congenital Myotonic dystophy  type 1 myotonic dystrophy (~25% of infants born to mothers with myotonic dystrophy)  hypotonia and weakness of the face and limbs in infancy  global developmental delay- intellectual impairment and motor disability  Later develop myotonia and other characteristic symptoms  Electrphysiology & Genetic analysis Bradley’s Neurology in Clinical Practice. 6th edition
  • 23. TREATMENT  Presynaptic  Pyridostigmine- 1 mg/kg every 4 hours (maximal, 7 mg/kg/day, divided into 5-6 doses  3,4-DAP- 1 mg/kg/day, divided into 3-4 doses  Synaptic  Ephedrine-1 mg/kg/day and slowly increased to a maximum of 3 mg/kg/day, divided into three doses per day  Albuterol- 0.1 mg/kg/day (maximum, 2 mg/dose) divided into three doses for children at 2-6 years of age, and 2 mg/dose 2-3 times daily for children between 6-12 years of age P.J. Lorenzoni et al. / Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141- 148
  • 24.  Postsynaptic  Acetylcholine receptor deficiency without kinetic abnormalityPyridostigmine, 3,4-DAP  Primary kinetic abnormality of the acetylcholine receptor  Slow-channel syndrome- Quinidine(15-60 mg/kg/day, divided into 4-6 doses), Fluoxetine(No standard dose)  Fast-channel syndrome- Pyridostigmine, 3,4-DAP  Defects of acetylcholine receptor complex- Pyridostigmine , 3,4DAP  Voltage-gated sodium channel- Pyridostigmine, Acetazolamide P.J. Lorenzoni et al. / Pediatric Neurology 46 (2012) 141-148

  • 27. CONCLUSION  CMS should be suspected in any patient with fatigable ocular, bulbar, or limb weakness presenting in infancy or early childhood  In older patients who are anti-AChR and anti–MuSK-antibody negative and fail to respond to immunosuppressant medications  Certain clinical features, such as a delayed pupillary light reflex, prominent weakness of finger/wrist extensors, scoliosis, or a repetitive CMAP, may aid in making a diagnosis in certain cases  Definitive diagnosis in many cases requires detailed morphologic, microphysiologic, and genetic studies
