Neurological diseases caused by ion-channel mutations.

Abstract excerpt

During the past decade, mutations in several ion-channel genes have been shown to cause inherited neurological diseases. This is not surprising given the large number of different ion channels and their prominent role in signal processing. Biophysical studies of mutant ion channels in vitro allow detailed investigations of the basic mechanism underlying these 'channelopathies'. A full understanding of these...
