TL;DR
Comprehensive genetic testing, longitudinal phenotyping, and genotype‐informed management are essential for optimal diagnosis and care in this rare disorder and underscores the critical role of genotype in determining disease severity.
Abstract
Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) caused by pathogenic variants in CHRND, encoding the δ‐subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR), are rare, and data on genotype–phenotype correlations and long‐term outcomes are limited.
The results highlight the major contribution of a limited number of genes and underscore the importance of early molecular diagnosis in a population with high consanguinity and underscore the importance of early molecular diagnosis in a population with high consanguinity.
The first Korean case of tyrosine kinase 7 CMS with a favorable therapeutic response to ephedrine is reported, emphasizing the need to consider CMS in the differential diagnosis of congenital myopathy.

Two unrelated female pediatric patients evaluated for LZTR1‐related NS following whole‐exome sequencing are reported to illustrate the marked phenotypic variability of LZTR1‐related NS and underscore that, while cardiac defects may be absent in some individuals, appropriate cardiac surveillance remains necessary.
