Congenital Myopathy
Congenital Myopathy is a group of inherited muscle disorders that are present at birth. These conditions affect the muscle fibers, leading to weakness and reduced muscle tone. Symptoms can vary widely, but they often include difficulty with movement, delayed motor skills, and in some cases, respiratory issues.
The exact cause of Congenital Myopathy is linked to genetic mutations that affect muscle structure and function. Diagnosis typically involves physical examinations, genetic testing, and muscle biopsies. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through physical therapy and supportive care.
