Although Muscle diseases are monogenetic disorders, inherited in an autosomal recessive (AR), dominant or X-linked pattern, however the marked variability in genetics and presentations can be identified within the same category of a subtype and among patients even with the same gene involvements. Gulf and Arab population is characterized by a high rate of consanguineous marriages, which favors the appearance of such group of muscle and neuromuscular diseases in multiple and successive generations.
In this talk we will discuss 1- Spectrum of genetic muscle diseases in Qatar. 2– Identify the particular genetic cause of the muscle disorder.
