INTRODUCTION
Congenital myasthenia syndromes (CMS) are a heterogeneous gathering of beginning stage hereditary neuromuscular transmission problems because of transformations in proteins engaged with the association, support, capacity, or change of the engine endplate. Myasthenia gravis in earliest stages and youth fall into two signi icant gatherings for example obtained immune system and congenital (Khwaja et al., 2000). CMS are clinically described by anomalous fatigability, or transient or perpetual shortcoming of extra-visual, facial, bulbar, truncal, respiratory, or limb muscles (Finsterer, 2019). They can be seen with different etiological factors, includ-ing a decrease in vesicles together with insuf icient secretion, de iciencies in Ach transferase, and Ach esterase and rapsyn levels in all presynaptic, synaptic, postsynaptic regions (Ceylan et al., 2011). More prominent comprehension of the instruments of CMS has been gotten from auxiliary and electrophysiological investigations of the endplate, and from biochemical examinations. Present treatments for the CMS incorporate cholinergic agonists, extensive open-channel blockers of the acetylcholine receptor particle channel, and adrenergicagonists (Engel et al., 2015). CMS are hereditary diseases in which the protection margin of neuromuscular communication is compromised by one or more particular mechanisms. Since the 1970s, CMS has been recognised as distinct therapeutic entities since identifying the autoimmune root of myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndromes. Initially, combination therapeutic, in vitro electrophysiological, and structural tests identi ied the CMS. CMS research received more momentum as gene sequences coding for EP-associated proteins were established and Sanger sequencing appeared. Throughout the past 3 years, whole exome sequencing has encouraged the detection of novel CMS at an unprecedented speed, and no less than 20 CMS disease genes have been identi ied. Figure 1 displays EP distribution of known CMS disease proteins. In this study, we identify the factors in luencing the safety margin of neuromuscular transmission, de ine the CMS found to date, de ine their characteristics and pathogenesis, and discuss possible therapies.

CASE REPORT
A 3yrs female child born out of non-consanguineous marriage in 2011. She was delivered at full term by caesarian section. She achieved all the social, motor, and language milestones at regular intervals without delay. She did not suffer from any major illness and asymptomatic till Jan 2015. In irst week of Feb. 2015 she developed drooping of left eyelid, over next 3-4 days noticed to lifting left eyelid with ingers to get clear vision. Nearly one week after similar drooping was observed in right eye. The drooping had worsened over next week to obstruct her vision completely. There was no history of vision loss, facial weakness, facial asymmetry, dif iculty in chewing, drooling of saliva, and dysphagia dysarthria or nasal intonation to voice. She had become loppy with neck drop on 2-3 occasions and was not able to sit on her own (Engel et al., 1990). These episodes resolved within 15-20 min of giving T.Pyridostigmine, there is no family history of similar illness in last three gener-ations. The weight is 11kg and upon investigation cranial nerves -II vision -20/50 at 50cm by allen picture card, able to appreciate light from all corners, VII -bilateral orbicularis occuli-weak and done test for NM junction disorders and also they done investigations such as CBC, electrolytes, MRI brain shows normal, AchR Ab-0.18nmol/l, CECT suggests thymus hyperplasia. She was treated with AchE inhibitors (pyridostigmine) and ive days IV methylprednisolone(250mg/day) (Engel and Lambert, 1987).

Figure 1: Investigation to evaluate CMS
CMS incorporates a heterogeneous gathering of problems, portrayed by brokenness of NMJ transmission, which is available since birth and is hereditarily inherited (Engel, 1994). In spite of the fact that instances of myasthenia gravis during outset and adolescence have been depicted in the writing since 1960 (Greer and Schotland, 1960;Mcquillen, 1966;Conomy et al., 1975), the differentiation between procured immune system structure and inborn structures has been progressively perceived and emphasized (Kaminski and Ruff, 1992;Vincent et al., 1993). This expanding mindfulness with respect to intrinsic types of myasthenia gravis was initially portrayed in a paper by Engel and Lambert who brie ly depicted the nosology of innate myasthenia syndrome (Engel et al., 1977). Besides, while most instances of procured immune system youth MG are irregular, familial totals have been seen which might be because of legacy of HLA haplotypes that incline to sensitisation of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) (Engel, 1994;Engel et al., 1982). Then again, while a positive AChR immune response test prohibits the inding of CMS, however a negative test in an irregular case doesn't really infer a determination of CMS in light of the fact that a high extent of adolescent patients with immune system MG are more over sero negative (Andrews et al., 1993). They had done investigation to evaluate CMS in $.
In 2019, this 8yr female child was admitted in another hospital. Her lab investigations were fair. She was treated with T.pyridostigmine 60mg(1/2-3/4-1/2), IV corticosteroids, antibiotics and other supportive therapy. She was clinically stable in Figure 2.

CONCLUSION
Myasthenia condition in kids normal yet the one of a kind in kids is the acquired inborn myasthenia disorder which isn't followed immune system and no antibodies decided. Thusly, an exact analysis is signi icant for treatment. The test is to separate this disorder from seronegative obtained myasthenia gravis and one may require, notwithstanding customary examination, particular microelectrode investigation of neuromuscular transmission with or without hereditary test. So here in this case the diagnosis con irmed by Acetyl Choline Receptor Binding Antibody & differentiated this syndrome by Seropositive acquired myasthenia gravis.
