Abstract excerpt
Fast-channel genetic myasthenic syndromes (FCGMSs) are caused by genetic variants in muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunits that reduce channel open times and impair neuromuscular transmission. Among these, the CHRNE p.P141L variant (εP141L) is associated with particularly severe disease. Here, we characterized a knock-in mouse model harboring the homologous p.P141L variant in Chrne...
