AB  - This  chapter  describes  the  disorders  of  neuromuscular  transmission  (DNMT)  other  than  myasthenia  gravis  (MG)  (Table  26-1).  The  neuromuscular  junction  (NMJ)  is  a  physiologically  complex  structure.  Its  ability  to  function  optimally  requires  the  integration  of  a  large  number  of  proteins  including  ion  channels  that  are  correctly  configured  and  distributed.  As  a  result  of  numerous  potential  sites  of  vulnerability,  DNMTs  may  occur  as  a  consequence  of  multiple,  albeit  infrequent  disorders.  Autoimmune,  genetic,  or  toxic  mechanisms  may  disrupt  the  ultrastructure  or  physiology  of  the  NMJ,  thus  interfering  with  effective  NMT.
