David S Saperstein. Semin Neurol. 2008 Apr.

Abstract

In recent years the term CHANNELOPATHY has been adopted to describe neurological disorders caused by mutations in different ion channel genes. Myopathic channelopathies include two main groups: nondystrophic myotonias and periodic paralyses. This article reviews the clinical features, diagnostic approach, molecular causes, and management of patients with nondystrophic myotonias and periodic paralyses.
