Congenital myasthenic syndromes are a group of conditions that are characterised by weak muscles that tire easily (myasthenia). In people with these conditions, myasthenia typically begins shortly after birth or during early childhood. The most commonly affected muscles are the muscles in the head and neck (bulbar muscles) that control chewing and swallowing, speech, and facial expressions; the muscles that move the eyes and eyelids; and the muscles in the arms and legs. However, any of the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) can be affected.

Congenital myasthenic syndromes are a group of conditions that are characterised by weak muscles that tire easily (myasthenia). In people with these conditions, myasthenia typically begins shortly after birth or during early childhood. The most commonly affected muscles are the muscles in the head and neck (bulbar muscles) that control chewing and swallowing, speech, and facial expressions; the muscles that move the eyes and eyelids; and the muscles in the arms and legs. However, any of the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) can be affected.
In individuals with congenital myasthenic syndromes, episodes of severe weakness or breathing problems may be triggered by fevers, infection, or tiring physical activity. The severity of the myasthenia varies greatly, from minor muscle weakness to severe weakness that may require wheelchair assistance.
Babies with congenital myasthenic syndromes may have feeding difficulties. Some affected babies may also experience short pauses in breathing (apnea) that can lead to a bluish appearance of the skin or lips (cyanosis). In severe instances, a lack of movement before birth can lead to joint deformities (contractures) that cause joint stiffness (arthrogryposis) and impair movement.
Children with congenital myasthenic syndromes may have speech problems (dysarthria) or swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). The development of motor skills, such as crawling or walking, may be delayed in these children.
