Screening for mutations in Spanish families with myotonia. Functional analysis of novel mutations in CLCN1 gene

Abstract Myotonia congenita is an inherited muscle disorder caused by mutations in the CLCN1 gene, a voltage-gated chloride channel of skeletal muscle. We have studied 48 families with myotonia, 32 out of them carrying mutations in CLCN1 gene and eight carry mutations in SCN4A gene. We have found 26...
