An Up-to-Date Overview of the Complexity of Genotype-Phenotype Relationships in Myotonic Channelopathies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Myotonic disorders are inherited neuromuscular diseases divided into dystrophic myotonias and non-dystrophic myotonias (NDM). The latter is a group of dominant or recessive diseases caused by mutations in genes encoding ion channels that participate in ...

Evaluation of Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived from a Patient with Schwartz–Jampel Syndrome Revealed Distinct Hyperexcitability in the Skeletal Muscles

Biomedicines, 2023
Schwartz–Jampel syndrome (SJS) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2), which encodes the core basement membrane protein perlecan.
