Below is a partial list of neuromuscular disorders.

Affecting muscle[edit]

Muscular dystrophies[edit]

Dystrophinopathies[edit]

Limb girdle muscular dystrophies[edit]

Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) as defined by the European Neuromuscular Centre in 2018.[1][2] They are named by the following system: LGMD, recessive or dominant inheritance (R or D), order of discovery (number), affected protein.[1]

Congenital muscular dystrophies[edit]

Distal muscular dystrophy[edit]

Distal muscular dystrophy, also called distal myopathy, is essentially any muscle disease that preferentially affects the hands and/or feet, a much less common pattern than proximal muscle weakness.

Myofibrillar myopathy[edit]

Myofibrillar myopathies are diseases that cause similar findings of affected muscle when viewed under a microscope.[3]

Other muscular dystrophies[edit]

Congenital myopathies[edit]

Metabolic diseases[edit]

Mutations causing defects in metabolism can cause muscle damage due to inadequate energy for muscles or accumulation of waste products.[4]

Mitochondrial myopathy[edit]

Mitochondrial myopathies are diseases caused by mutations related to mitochondria, and thus are generally inherited from the mother with variable expressivity due to heteroplasmy.

Glycogen storage disease[edit]

Glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are a group of diseases caused by mutations related to glycogen metabolism.

Fat oxidation defect[edit]

Other metabolic myopathies[edit]

Inflammatory myopathies[edit]

Other diseases of muscle[edit]

Affecting nerve[edit]

Neuronopathies[edit]

A neuronopathy affects the cell body of a nerve cell in the peripheral nervous system.[5]

Neuropathy[edit]

A neuropathy affects the peripheral nerves.[5]

Compressive (entrapment) neuropathies[edit]

Upper extremity[edit]
Lower extremity[edit]

Cranial nerve palsies[edit]

Affecting neuromuscular junction[edit]

Other[edit]
