Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the voltage-dependent skeletal muscle chloride channel, ClC-1, result in dominant or recessive myotonia congenita. The Q552R mutation causes a variant of dominant myotonia with a milder phenotype, myotonia levior. To characterise the functional properties of this mutation, homodimeric mutant and heterodimeric wild-type (WT) mutant channels were expressed in tsA201 cells and studied using the...
