Abstract excerpt
Non-dystrophic myotonias are characterized by clinical overlap making it challenging to establish genotype-phenotype correlations. We report clinical and electrophysiological findings in a girl and her father concomitantly harbouring single heterozygous mutations in SCN4A and CLCN1 genes. Functional characterization of N1297S hNav1.4 mutant was performed by patch clamp. The patients displayed a mild phenotype,...
