Abstract:

Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are highly heterogeneous in etiology.Different genetic variants contribute to different disease entities. More than 800 genes for hereditary neuromuscular diseases have been reported. In addition, some disorders, such as congenital nemaline myopathy, is caused by variants of several different genes. Such genetic complexity of the neuromuscular disease presents significant challenges for in vitro disease modeling. However, due to the maintenance of the genetic background of the donor cell during cell reprogramming, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been used broadly in the studies of NMDs. In this paper, the progress in applications of iPSCs technology in the studies of NMDs are reviewed.

Key words: Neuromuscular diseases, iPSCs, Gene mutation, Drug screening
