Originally thought to be incurable, huge therapeutic progress has been made in recent years in the field of inherited neuromuscular disorders. Approaches aiming to rescue the underlying pathophysiology, i.e. loss-of-function or gain-of-function mutations, have been developed via end-product replacement or gene delivery/modulation, with promising results. In the review, advanced treatment in some of the inherited neuromuscular disorders will be discussed. On the other hand, it has been found more than 1000 genes are responsible for the clinical diversities in this group of diseases, and finding a way which owns the therapeutic potential to various diseases is the optimal goal. The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 system in the last decade offers such an opportunity and is under rigorous investigation. This important issue will also be discussed. Keywords: CRISPR-Cas9, gene therapy, gene delivery/modulation, inherited neuromuscular disorders, therapeutic advances.
