Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
1.Clinical diagnosis of neuromuscular disease: Potential participants will have a diagnosis of NMD, based on clinical testing, electrodiagnostic studies and antibody testing or genetic testing of a pathogenic variant based on the American College of Medical Genetics criteria \[63\]. Standard-of-care assessments include a detailed NMD examination by neurogenetics or neuromuscular physician, a three-generation family history, genetic testing, electrophysiological studies, and standard myopathy serology (e.g., CK level), muscle biopsy, muscle ultrasound, etc. will be considered for this study.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with contraindications to MRI 1.1 Including non-MR compatible cardiac pacemaker or electronic devices 1.2 Severe claustrophobia
2. Patients with clinical presentation not consistent with confirmed NMD
3. Patients with advanced disease with severe quadriparesis (Medical Research Council Muscle Rating score of \<3 in \>10 muscle groups) or asymptomatic patients, as severe fatty replacement of muscle tissue in the late disease of most muscles or normal scans, will limit the value of diagnosis by imaging.
