Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mutations of the voltage-gated sodium channel gene (SCN4A), which encodes Nav1.4, cause nondystrophic myotonia that occasionally is associated with severe apnea and laryngospasm. There are case reports of nondystrophic myotonia due to mutations in the C-terminal tail (CTerm) of Nav1.4, but the functional analysis is scarce. METHODS: We present two families with nondystrophic myotonia harboring a...
