To be considered a form of LGMD the condition must be described in at least two unrelated families with affected individuals achieving independent walking, must have an elevated serum creatinine kinase activity, must demonstrate degenerative changes on muscle imaging over the course of the disease, and have dystrophic changes on muscle histology ultimately leading to end-stage pathology for the most affected muscles.” 229 ENMC workshop DMD pathomechanism 5 y Structural defect Membrane instability 11 y Apoptosis / Necrosis 18 y Inflammation Fibrosis Is a precise diagnosis necessary?

Rare congenital and encouraged development in this space. genetic diseases often have severe or even fatal manifestations, with few treatments available, In this whitepaper, we review the current market but emerging genetic data and new treatment landscape for rare congenital and genetic diseases modalities, such as gene therapy, are rendering and look forward to what treatment approaches monogenic diseases more tractable. What’s might be available soon. 2 / August 2020 © Informa UK Ltd 2020 (Unauthorized photocopying prohibited.) Approved therapies for rare congenital and genetic diseases The focus of this analysis is limited to diseases by GARD, and emphasizes the huge unmet need that are classified as rare congenital and genetic that exists. Diseases with the largest number of diseases by the National Center for Advancing approved therapies include dwarfism, Lennox- Translational Sciences’ (part of the NIH) Genetic Gastaut syndrome, and cystic fibrosis (Figure 1). and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD)1.
