Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the CLCN1 gene frequently associate with myotonia congenita (MC). We have recently reported several CLCN1 mutants in Taiwanese patients. To further elucidate the correlation between the genotypes and phenotypes, in this study, we used Xenopus oocyte as a system to investigate the functional effects of these mutants. The fs793X and G482R mutants, which were suggested to have a dual inheritance...
