Genetic neurological channelopathies.

Abstract excerpt

Ion channels are crucial for the normal function of excitable tissues such as neurons and skeletal muscle. Since the discovery that the paroxysmal muscle disorder periodic paralysis is caused by mutations in genes that encode voltage-gated ion channels, many genetic neurological channelopathies have been defined. These channelopathies include epilepsy syndromes that show a mendelian pattern of inheritance,...
