Abstract
The inherited myopathies are a diverse group of disorders. The understanding of these diseases has grown dramatically in the past 10 years as a result of the rapidi dentification of causative genes. Two of the largest classes of inherited myopathies are the muscular dystrophies and the morphologically defined myopathies, including congenital myopathies. These diseases are typically diagnosed with either genetic testing or muscle biopsy. Treatment is supportive but involves management of multiple systems, including skeletal, cardiac, and respiratory systems.
