Talk:Congenital myasthenic syndrome

Recent research

I added a lot of information about recent research on the mechanisms of post-synaptic CMS. I included information about two of the more common mutations underlying CMS, mutations of the acetylcholine receptor and mutations of the raspyn protein.

I also included information in the treatment section because I noticed it was incomplete and outdated. I provided a more in-depth explanation of the usage of ephedrine as treatment. I also deleted the comment about synaptic CMS having no known cure because I know that many different forms of treatment is currently being tested and some have been found to be beneficial for patients.

Autoantibodies in Congenital myasthenic syndrome

This primaily relates to the revert by TwigsCogito. Please refer to the contents of the following resource:

• Khwaja, GA (2000 Sep). "Congenital myasthenic syndrome: report of four cases and brief review of literature". Neurology India. 48 (3): 266–71. PMID 11025633. {{cite journal}}: Check date values in: |date= (help); Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help)

I think that the contents of the journal article will help you and other users rewrite portions of this article for good. Diptanshu^Talk 15:16, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. So I think the article says something different from what you added ("It often occurs to babies of mothers with myasthenia gravis where autoantibodies are transmitted vertically."). Since CMS is not autoimmune, it is not antibodies that are transmitted. I'm not sure if the article said that a family history is common, either, only that it is more common than in auto-immune MG. Anyway, thanks for posting the link to the article. It has a lot of helpful information. TwigsCogito (talk) 20:44, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

May be there is indeed some difference in what I had added but that was based on what I had interpreted. I would be glad if you update this article with the contents of the mentioned resource. Adding the reference will also enhance the quality. I am running in a crisis of time, else I would have taken the task up myself. Diptanshu^Talk 05:48, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
