Diagnostics in skeletal muscle channelopathies.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Skeletal muscle channelopathies (SMCs) are a heterogenous group of disorders, caused by mutations in skeletal ion channels leading to abnormal muscle excitability, resulting in either delayed muscle relaxation (myotonia) which characterizes non-dystrophic myotonias (NDMs), or membrane transient inactivation, causing episodic weakness, typical of periodic paralyses (PPs). AREAS COVERED: SMCs include...
