Abstract

Congenital Muscular Dystrophies (CMD) is the group of the neuromuscular diseases which are characterized by heavy hypotonia, muscular weakness and contractures. Incidence of CMD is estimated as 0,8 on 100 000, and the contribution of congenital muscular dystrophy, merozin-negative (CMD1A) makes in 30-40% of cases of CMD in the European countries. However, the exact frequency of CMD1A and frequency of a carriage of this disease are at the moment not determined. Frequent mutations of LAMA2 gene are revealed that has allowed to create effective system of molecular and genetic diagnostics CMD1A in the burdened families. The medical technology «Detectionsystem in one test tube for frequent mutations at congenital muscular dystrophies» is introduced in practice. The assessment of population frequency of six mutations in LAMA2 gene among residents of the Russian Federation and settlement frequency of CMD1A disease which has made 1 on 83 000 newborns is for the first time carried out.
