Ion channel mutations affecting muscle and brain.

Abstract excerpt

Voltage-gated ion channels control many aspects of signal transduction in both muscle and nerve. These channels are finely tuned, and either increased or decreased channel activity can adversely affect function. In skeletal muscle, mutations in ion channel genes have been shown to cause both myot...
