Abstract excerpt
Ryanodine receptors plays a crucial role in skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling by releasing calcium ions required for muscle contraction from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. At least three phenotypes associated with more than 100 RYR1 mutations have been identified; in order to elucidate possible pathophysiological mechanisms of RYR1 mutations linked to neuromuscular disorders, it is essential to define...
