Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the muscle chloride channel gene CLCN1 cause myotonia congenita, an inherited disorder of skeletal muscle excitability leading to a delayed relaxation after muscle contraction. Here, we examine the functional consequences of a novel disease-causing mutation that predicts the substitution of alanine by threonine at position 331 (A331T) by whole-cell patch-clamp recording of recombinant mutant...
