title: Global carrier frequency and predicted genetic prevalence of patients with pathogenic sequence variants in autosomal recessive genetic neuromuscular diseases
abstract: Genetic neuromuscular diseases are clinically and genetically heterogeneous genetic disorders that primarily affect the peripheral nerves, muscles, and neuromuscular junctions. This study aimed to identify pathogenic variants, calculate carrier frequency, and predict the genetic prevalence of autosomal recessive neuromuscular diseases (AR-NMDs). We selected 268 AR-NMD genes and analyzed their genetic variants sourced from the gnomAD database. After identifying the pathogenic variants using an al
