Rare Musculoskeletal Diseases

A wide range of rare conditions involve the musculoskeletal system. Some, like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, arise from genetic problems in the muscles themselves, while others involve the nerves (eg, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease), motor neurons (eg, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS]), or the bones (eg, osteogenesis imperfecta). Problems in other part of the body—such as mitochondrial disease or a metabolic disease like carnitine deficiency can also lead to major problems with these systems. Many individuals are familiar with some of these conditions. Nonetheless, treatment options remain limited although extensive research may soon change that.
