30 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The myasthenic syndrome due to abnormal acetylcholine resynthesis is characterized by early onset, recessive inheritance, and recurrent episodes of potentially fatal apnea. Mutations in the gene encoding choline acetyltransferase (CHAT) have been found to account for this condition.
