Abstract

Rare pathogenic variants in TOR1AIP1 (OMIM 614512), coding the inner nuclear membrane protein lamin-associated protein 1 (LAP1), have been associated with a spectrum of disorders including limb girdle muscular dystrophy with cardiac involvement and a severe multisystem phenotype. Recently, Cossins et al reported two siblings with limb girdle muscular dystrophy and impaired transmission of the neuromuscular synapse, demonstrating that defective LAP1 may lead to a congenital myasthenic syndrome. Herein, we describe the association of TOR1AIP1 deficiency with congenital myasthenic syndrome in three siblings.
