Compound heterozygous mutations in the muscle chloride channel gene (CLCN1) in a Japanese family with Thomsen’s disease

open access: yesRinsho Shinkeigaku, 2013
Autosomal-dominant type of myotonia (Thomsen's disease) and autosomal-recessive one (Becker's disease) are caused by mutations in the skeletal muscle voltage-gated chloride channel gene (CLCN1). Clinical manifestation of the diseases ranges from minimum to severely disabling myotonia.

Clinical Diversity of SCN4A-Mutation-Associated Skeletal Muscle Sodium Channelopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mutations of the skeletal muscle sodium channel gene SCN4A, which is located on chromosome 17q23-25, are associated with various neuromuscular disorders that are labeled collectively as skeletal muscle sodium channelopathy.

Physiology and Pathophysiology of CLC-1: Mechanisms of a Chloride Channel Disease, Myotonia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The CLC-1 chloride channel, a member of the CLC-channel/transporter family, plays important roles for the physiological functions of skeletal muscles. The opening of this chloride channel is voltage dependent and is also regulated by protons and chloride

Zebrafish deficient for Muscleblind-like 2 exhibit features of myotonic dystrophy

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2011
SUMMARY Myotonic dystrophy (DM; also known as dystrophia myotonica) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the heart, eyes, brain and endocrine system, but the predominant symptoms are neuromuscular, with progressive muscle weakness and wasting ...

Understanding the Impact of Non-Dystrophic Myotonia on Patients and Caregivers: Results from a Burden of Disease Healthcare Survey

open access: yesEuropean Medical Journal, 2021
Non-dystrophic myotonias (NDM) manifest as delayed muscle relaxation leading to muscle stiffness. This may diminish or worsen with repeated contractions, depending on NDM subtype.

Clinical and molecular diagnosis of a Costa Rican family with autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (Becker disease) carrying a new mutation in the CLCN1 gene

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2008
Myotonia congenita is a muscular disease characterized by myotonia, hypertrophy, and stiffness. It is inherited as either autosomal dominant or recessive known as Thomsen and Becker diseases, respectively.

HTS-Compatible Patient-Derived Cell-Based Assay to Identify Small Molecule Modulators of Aberrant Splicing in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 [PDF]

open access: yes
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic disorder characterized by muscle wasting, myotonia, cataracts, cardiac arrhythmia, hyperinsulinism and intellectual deficits, and is caused by expansion of a CTG repeat in the 3’UTR of the Dystrophia Myotonica-

Exome-wide comparative analyses revealed differentiating genomic regions for performance traits in Indian native buffaloes

open access: yesAnimal Biotechnology
In India, 20 breeds of buffalo have been identified and registered, yet limited studies have been conducted to explore the performance potential of these breeds, especially in the Indian native breeds.
