In vivo assessment of muscle membrane properties in the sodium channel myotonias
6 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The gain-of-function mutations that underlie sodium channel myotonia (SCM) and paramyotonia congenital (PMC) produce differing clinical phenotypes. We used muscle velocity recovery cycles (MVRCs) to investigate membrane properties. METHODS: MVRCs and responses to trains of stimuli were compared in patients with SCM (n = 9), PMC (n = 8), and normal controls (n = 26). RESULTS: The muscle relative...
