Brief description Neuromuscular disorders affect 1 in 1,000 people, often result in progressive muscle weakness and can cause early death. At present not enough is being done to ensure translation of research into improved outcomes for patients. For the first time in Australia, the CRE-NMD will establish an integrated, comprehensive program to investigate diagnosis, prevention and treatment of neuromuscular disorders from infancy to adulthood.
