Defects in over 500 genes underlie a diverse collection of neuromuscular disorders (NMDs). By definition, NMDs are diseases that arise from defects in muscle or nerve. The subset of NMDs that impact skeletal muscle are referred to as “myopathies” and “muscular dystrophies”, and are due to mutations in genes encoding muscle proteins. Many of these genes encode proteins that provide structural stability or bolster membrane integrity, while others are involved in protein turnover, trafficking, and electrical excitability. In this review, the genetic basis and biological function of mutant proteins associated with myopathies will be discussed. In addition, pathomechanisms and treatment strategies for these disorders will be highlighted. Because the causal genetic defects are known in most cases, strategies that target the underlying molecular defect will likely be the most efficacious approach to therapies, and current strategies utilizing this approach will be briefly mentioned. Since the identification of the first gene associated with a neuromuscular disorder in 1987 to the current day, the field has made tremendous progress and has led in advancing gene therapeutics.
