Mutational analysis of DAX1 in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or pubertal delay [PDF]
Although delayed puberty is relatively common and often familial, its molecular and pathophysiologic basis is poorly understood. In contrast, the molecular mechanisms underlying some forms of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) are clearer, following the ...

de novo mutation in scn4agene detected in polish patient with paramyotonia congenita phenotype
A 16-year-old Polish male child was referred to confirm the diagnosis of myotonia congenita. For several years he had experienced cold-induced myotonia and muscle stiffness.

Punctal and Canalicular Obstruction Associated with Dyskeratosis Congenita
Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare X-linked recessive, multisystem disease characterized by bone marrow failure, oral leukoplakia, nail dystrophy, and reticular skin pigmentations. It is also associated with ocular abnormalities.

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.

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.
