title: [Disorders of neuromuscular transmission].
abstract: Disorders of neuromuscular transmission include a heterogenous group of diseases affecting the neuromuscular junction. The most important clinical syndrome is idiopathic myasthenia gravis. As a group, these disorders exhibit several common features, the essential one being a fluctuating fatigability and weakness of muscles. In this short review the molecular pathogenesis of different myasthenic syndromes is discussed.
