Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the main voltage-gated K channel members Kv1.1 are linked to several clinical conditions, such as periodic ataxia type 1, myokymia and seizure disorders. Due to their role in active magnesium reabsorption through the renal distal convoluted tubule segment, mutations in the KCNA1 gene encoding for Kv1.1 has been associated with hypomagnesemia with myokymia and tetanic crises. Here we describe a case...
