Revue neurologique 2023 JunCongenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are rare genetic neuromuscular disorders. The COLQ gene encoding the collagenous subunit of the acetyl cholinesterase enzyme tail is implicated in a synaptic form of CMS (also called type 5, according to the new gene table 2020 classification). To study the clinical phenotype of three families with COLQ gene mutations. We report a series of three consanguineous families, with seven affected patients, carrying three different mutations of the COLQ gene, one of which has never been reported in the literature before. We studied their clinical and paraclinical phenotypes, and try to compare the three families as well as compare them with other series carrying COLQ gene mutations reported in the literature. COLQ gene mutations have phenotypic particularities that must be recognized to propose appropriate genetic study. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
