Abstract: RyR1-related myopathies are a family of genetic neuromuscular diseases due to mutations in the
RYR1 gene. No treatment exists for any of these myopathies today, which could change in the coming years
with the growing number of studies dedicated to the pre-clinical assessment of various approaches, from pharmacological
to gene therapy strategies, using the numerous models developed up to now. In addition, the first
clinical trials for these rare diseases have just been completed or are being launched. We review the most recent
results obtained for the treatment of RyR1-related myopathies, and, in view of the progress in therapeutic development
for other myopathies, we discuss the possible future therapeutic perspectives for RyR1-related myopathies.
