Abstract excerpt
The slow-channel syndrome (SCS) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by fatigability, progressive weakness, and degeneration of the neuromuscular junction. The SCS is caused by missense mutations in the four subunits of the skeletal muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR), which leads to altered channel gating, prolonged neuromuscular postsynaptic currents, and impaired neuromuscular transmission. Although a...
