Correlating phenotype and genotype in the periodic paralyses
BACKGROUND: Periodic paralyses and paramyotonia congenita are rare disorders causing disabling weakness and myotonia. Mutations in sodium, calcium, and potassium channels have been recognized as causing disease.

Multiple sclerosis and non-dystrophic myotonias: Do they share a common pathophysiology?
Some patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) complain of symptoms, suchas myokymia, myotonia, spasms, and stiffness, which have been demonstrated to be due to a concurrent non-dystrophic myotonia, i.e. myotonia congenita or paramyotonia congenita.
