It’s the 10th time when International Myology School has been held in Russia.

International neurologists, geneticists, radiologists, morphologists and other scientists annually discuss the most controversial issues of clinical diagnosis, etiology and pathogenesis as well as approaches to treating a wide range of neuromuscular diseases.
