2 Information about rare diseases Neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases (myodystrophy, spinal and neural amyotrophy, myotonia, hereditary ataxia and subcortical degeneration), more than 45 types patients from З45 families (database of RCMG). Phenylketonuria (57 patients - database of RCMG). Congenital Hypothyroidism (36 patients - database of MC Arabkir ). Mucopolysaccharidosis (14 patients - database of RCMG).
