Clinical, genetic and electrophysiological study of skeletal muscle channelopathies : new insights into myotonia congenita and Andersen-Tawil syndrome

This thesis examines clinical characteristics, molecular genetic aspects and electrophysiological features of two muscle channelopathies - myotonia congenita (MC) and Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS). MC is a muscle stiffness disorder caused by mutations in the skeletal muscle chloride channel gene CLC...
