Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Myotonia congenita (MC) is a muscle channelopathy in which pathogenic variants in a key sarcolemmal chloride channel Gene (CLCN1) cause myotonia. This study used muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantify contractile properties and fat replacement of muscles in a Danish cohort of MC patients. METHODS: Individuals with the Thomsen (dominant) and Becker (recessive) variants of MC...
