Written by more than 60 international experts in the field, Muscle Disease embodies the explosion of new concepts and information on the pathology and genetics of muscle disease that has occurred in recent years.
In order to accommodate the new complex principles involved, the book is organized around the motor unit and the inherited disorders, in particular, are centered on the ultrastructure and organelles within the muscle fiber. In this way, the wide spectrum of muscle diseases, ranging from neurogenic and inflammatory disorders to those involving defects in a single gene, can be expressed in a logical sequence. For example, disorders that principally involve specific organelles or particular metabolic processes are grouped together, with sections on disorders of the sarcolemma, mitochondria, myofibrils, glycogen and lipid metabolism, etc. Firm reference to clinical aspects and classification of muscle diseases has been maintained throughout the book with an initial clinical overview and with specific clinical sections in each chapter. For ease of navigation through the complex variety of muscle diseases, each chapter has been organized in a standard pattern that allows the reader to easily locate information on individual disease entities in different chapters.
This new edition of Muscle Disease: Pathology and Genetics will be a very valuable resource for clinicians, pathologists, geneticists and basic neuroscientists involved in diagnosis, research, treatment and management of patients with muscle disease.

Preface
The International Society of Neuropathology (ISN) has a major role in promoting education and improving standards of diagnosis and research in diseases of the nervous system. In this activity, the ISN works closely with clinicians, geneticists, basic neuroscientists, biochemists, and immunologists to maintain a broad spectrum of knowledge for the care and treatment of patients with neurological disease. In order to fulfill this objective, the ISN sponsors the research journal Brain Pathology, and a series of books devoted to maintaining and improving the standard of neuropathology worldwide.
The initial series of ISN neuropathology books was initiated by Paul Kleihues and published between 2001 and 2005 under the general editorship of Ynvge Olsson. The books comprised Developmental Neuropathology edited by Geoffrey A. Golden and Brian Harding (2004), and Pathology and Genetics of Cerebrovascular Diseases edited by Hannu Kalimo (2005) and were preceded by the first edition of Structural and Molecular Basis of Skeletal Muscle Diseases, edited by George Karpati (2002) and the first edition of Neurodegeneration: the Molecular Pathology of Dementia and Movement Disorders, edited by Dennis Dickson (2003). In parallel with the ISN books has been the publication of a series entitled WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System published by WHO Press. The fourth edition of the brain tumor book, edited by David N. Louis, Hiroko Ohgaki, Otmar D. Wiestler and Webster K. Cavenee, was published in 2007.
With the present series editor, the second edition of Neurodegeneration: the Molecular Pathology of Dementia and Movement Disorders was published in 2011 with Dennis W. Dickson and Roy O. Weller as editors; the book was subsequently translated into Spanish as Neurodegeneración: Patología molecular de la demencia y los trastornos del movimiento and published by Editorial Médica Panamericana, S.A.
The publication of the second edition of the book on muscle disease, the present volume, entitled Muscle Disease: Pathology and Genetics, is in response to the very rapid and significant advances in the field of muscle disease that have occurred over the last decade. For this volume, edited by Hans H. Goebel, Caroline A. Sewry and Roy O. Weller, a team of authors was appointed from an international field of experts after consultation with the Advisory Editors. One of the major challenges has been to assemble a coherent text that reflects the mood of this rapidly changing field of medical science. The main objective of the book is to offer the reader a modern view of the pathology and genetics of muscle disease that will integrate the requirements of clinicians, pathologists, geneticists, and other neuroscientists involved in the investigation, diagnosis, research, management, and treatment of muscle disorders.
Although the clinical classification of muscle disease is extremely valuable in diagnosis and management, such a classification does not allow the adequate expression of modern concepts in the pathology and genetics of muscle disorders. For this reason, the present book has been organized in such a way that the whole spectrum of muscle disease from neurogenic and inflammatory disorders to diseases based upon mutations in a single gene can be covered in a logical sequence. The structure of the present book is based upon the motor unit; the inherited disorders in particular are related to the ultrastructure of the muscle fiber, its organelles, and associated connective tissue elements.
Following an introductory chapter, the first section of the book is devoted to general introductions to the clinical, pathological, and genetic aspects of muscle disease. Subsequent sections detail the pathology and genetics of neurogenic muscle disease and disorders of neuromuscular transmission. Then follows a series of sections based upon the subcellular structures and organelles in the muscle fiber, for example, disorders of the sarcolemma focusing on muscular dystrophies and related diseases; disorders of nuclei, myofibrils, intermediate filaments, and mitochondria. Subsequent sections cover diseases of sarcoplasmic reticulum and T-tubules, cytoplasmic proteins, metabolic and storage disorders and muscle diseases associated with DNA expansions and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy. All-important sections on inflammatory myopathies, toxic myopathies, muscle diseases associated with age, systemic disorders and rare structural abnormalities are grouped together at the end of the book. For ease of navigation through the complex variety of muscle diseases, individual chapters have been organized in a standard format that allows the reader to easily locate information on individual disease entities in different chapters. Each chapter covers the clinical, pathological, and genetic aspects of each disorder and includes data on experimental muscle disease and, where possible, a vision of future developments and treatment of each disorder.
I would like to thank Professors Hans Goebel and Caroline Sewry for their inspiration in the planning and their efforts in the preparation of the book; their breadth of knowledge and contacts within the field of muscle disease has been outstanding. I would also like to thank the Advisory Editors for their counsel and, wholeheartedly, the authors of individual chapters for the high quality of their contributions. Dr Herbert Budka, as president of ISN, Dr Seth Love as past General Secretary of ISN and Dr David Hilton as the present General Secretary have all been sources of valuable advice and inspiration. The book would not have been possible without the skill and commitment of the staff of the publishers, Wiley-Blackwell, especially Martin Sugden, Jennifer Seward, Rob Blundell and Helen Harvey, whom I sincerely thank.
Finally, who is most likely to benefit from reading and consulting this book? With its integrated approach, the book will be a valuable asset to clinicians, pathologists, geneticists, and neuroscientists involved in the investigation, diagnosis, research, treatment, and management of muscle disease.
