AB There  are  a  number  of  neuromuscular  disease  categories  that  cause  hypotonia  and  weakness  in  infancy.  Arranged  in  order  of  neuroanatomic  localization,  these  include  motor  neuron  diseases  (eg,  spinal  muscular  atrophy),  neuropathies  (eg,  congenital  hypomyelinating  neuropathies),  disorders  of  the  neuromuscular  junction  (eg,  congenital  myasthenic  syndrome),  and  muscle  diseases.  Major  categories  of  muscle  disease  in  infancy  include  congenital  myopathies,  congenital  muscular  dystrophies,  congenital  myotonic  dystrophies,  and  glycogen  storage  diseases.  Congenital  myopathies  and  congenital  muscular  dystrophies  are  the  subjects  of  this  chapter.
