Muscle disorders have been an important area for scientific advance in both the understanding of molecular genetic mutations as well as the protein defects that underlie primary muscle disease. This book provides an up-to-date review of recent developmentsin the myopathies and encompasses the dystrophies, channelopathies, congenital myopathies, and mitochondrial disorders. The impact that molecular genetics has had on diagnosis is also covered. In addition, some of the more common muscle related problems encountered by the clinician, such as fatigue and toxic and inflammatory myopathies, are addressed. * Chapters written by a renowned set of international contributors * Provides a new approach to the dystrophies by classifying them according to the molecular basis of their abnormality * Includes 12 color photographs
