Pathomechanisms in channelopathies of skeletal muscle and brain.

Abstract excerpt

Ion channelopathies are a diverse array of human disorders caused by mutations in ion channel genes. This review focuses on the pathogenic mechanisms of channelopathies affecting skeletal muscle and brain arising from mutations of voltage-gated ion channels and fast ligand-gated ion channels expressed at the surface membrane. Derangements in channel function alter the electrical excitability of the cell and...
