Channelopathies
A variety of neuromuscular conditions resulting from MUTATIONS in ION CHANNELS manifesting as episodes of EPILEPSY; HEADACHE DISORDERS; and DYSKINESIAS.
Paralyses, Familial Periodic
A heterogenous group of inherited disorders characterized by recurring attacks of rapidly progressive flaccid paralysis or myotonia. These conditions have in common a mutation of the gene encoding the alpha subunit of the sodium channel in skeletal muscle. They are frequently associated with fluctuations in serum potassium levels. Periodic paralysis may also occur as a non-familial process secondary to THYROTOXICOSIS and other conditions. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1481)
Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
An autosomal dominant familial disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of skeletal muscle weakness associated with falls in serum potassium levels. The condition usually presents in the first or second decade of life with attacks of trunk and leg paresis during sleep or shortly after awakening. Symptoms may persist for hours to days and generally are precipitated by exercise or a meal high in carbohydrates. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1483)
Myotonic Disorders
Diseases characterized by MYOTONIA, which may be inherited or acquired. Myotonia may be restricted to certain muscles (e.g., intrinsic hand muscles) or occur as a generalized condition.
Myotonia
Prolonged failure of muscle relaxation after contraction. This may occur after voluntary contractions, muscle percussion, or electrical stimulation of the muscle. Myotonia is a characteristic feature of MYOTONIC DISORDERS.
Paralysis, Hyperkalemic Periodic
An autosomal dominant familial disorder which presents in infancy or childhood and is characterized by episodes of weakness associated with hyperkalemia. During attacks, muscles of the lower extremities are initially affected, followed by the lower trunk and arms. Episodes last from 15-60 minutes and typically occur after a period of rest following exercise. A defect in skeletal muscle sodium channels has been identified as the cause of this condition. Normokalemic periodic paralysis is a closely related disorder marked by a lack of alterations in potassium levels during attacks of weakness. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1481)
Isaacs Syndrome
A rare neuromuscular disorder with onset usually in late childhood or early adulthood, characterized by intermittent or continuous widespread involuntary muscle contractions; FASCICULATION; hyporeflexia; MUSCLE CRAMP; MUSCLE WEAKNESS; HYPERHIDROSIS; TACHYCARDIA; and MYOKYMIA. Involvement of pharyngeal or laryngeal muscles may interfere with speech and breathing. The continuous motor activity persists during sleep and general anesthesia (distinguishing this condition from STIFF-PERSON SYNDROME). Familial and acquired (primarily autoimmune) forms have been reported. (From Ann NY Acad Sci 1998 May 13;841:482-496; Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1491)

Sodium Channels
Ion channels that specifically allow the passage of SODIUM ions. A variety of specific sodium channel subtypes are involved in serving specialized functions such as neuronal signaling, CARDIAC MUSCLE contraction, and KIDNEY function.
Brugada Syndrome
An autosomal dominant defect of cardiac conduction that is characterized by an abnormal ST-segment in leads V1-V3 on the ELECTROCARDIOGRAM resembling a right BUNDLE-BRANCH BLOCK; high risk of VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA; or VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION; SYNCOPAL EPISODE; and possible sudden death. This syndrome is linked to mutations of gene encoding the cardiac SODIUM CHANNEL alpha subunit.
Myopathy, Central Core
An inherited congenital myopathic condition characterized by weakness and hypotonia in infancy and delayed motor development. Muscle biopsy reveals a condensation of myofibrils and myofibrillar material in the central portion of each muscle fiber. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1452)
Nervous System Diseases
Diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. This includes disorders of the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscle.
Ion Channels
Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for ION CHANNEL GATING can be due to a variety of stimuli such as LIGANDS, a TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE, mechanical deformation or through INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS.

The abrupt and unexplained death of an apparently healthy infant under one year of age, remaining unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history. (Pediatr Pathol 1991 Sep-Oct;11(5):677-84)
Genetic Diseases, Inborn
Diseases that are caused by genetic mutations present during embryo or fetal development, although they may be observed later in life. The mutations may be inherited from a parent's genome or they may be acquired in utero.
Arrhythmias, Cardiac
Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.
Malignant Hyperthermia
Rapid and excessive rise of temperature accompanied by muscular rigidity following general anesthesia.
Mutation
Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.
Potassium Channels, Inwardly Rectifying
Potassium channels where the flow of K+ ions into the cell is greater than the outward flow.
Ion Channel Gating
The opening and closing of ion channels due to a stimulus. The stimulus can be a change in membrane potential (voltage-gated), drugs or chemical transmitters (ligand-gated), or a mechanical deformation. Gating is thought to involve conformational changes of the ion channel which alters selective permeability.
Potassium Channels, Voltage-Gated
Potassium channel whose permeability to ions is extremely sensitive to the transmembrane potential difference. The opening of these channels is induced by the membrane depolarization of the ACTION POTENTIAL.
Death, Sudden, Cardiac
Unexpected rapid natural death due to cardiovascular collapse within one hour of initial symptoms. It is usually caused by the worsening of existing heart diseases. The sudden onset of symptoms, such as CHEST PAIN and CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS, particularly VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA, can lead to the loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest followed by biological death. (from Braunwald's Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, 7th ed., 2005)

Molecular basis of inherited calcium channelopathies: role of mutations in pore-forming subunits. (1/102)

The pore-forming alpha subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels contain the essential biophysical machinery that underlies calcium influx in response to cell depolarization. In combination with requisite auxiliary subunits, these pore subunits form calcium channel complexes that are pivotal to the physiology and pharmacology of diverse cells ranging from sperm to neurons. Not surprisingly, mutations in the pore subunits generate diverse pathologies, termed channelopathies, that range from failures in excitation-contraction coupling to night blindness. Over the last decade, major insights into the mechanisms of pathogenesis have been derived from animals showing spontaneous or induced mutations. In parallel, there has been considerable growth in our understanding of the workings of voltage-gated ion channels from a structure-function, regulation and cell biology perspective. Here we document our current understanding of the mutations underlying channelopathies involving the voltage-gated calcium channel alpha subunits in humans and other species.  (+info)

Voltage-gated calcium channels in genetic diseases. (2/102)

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) mediate calcium entry into excitable cells in response to membrane depolarization. During the past decade, our understanding of the gating and functions of VGCCs has been illuminated by the analysis of mutations linked to a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases called "calcium channelopathies". Calcium channelopathies include muscular, neurological, cardiac and vision syndromes. Recent data suggest that calcium channelopathies result not only from electrophysiological defects but also from altered alpha(1)/Ca(V) subunit protein processing, including folding, posttranslational modifications, quality control and trafficking abnormalities. Overall, functional analyses of VGCC mutations provide a more comprehensive view of the corresponding human disorders and offer important new insights into VGCC function. Ultimately, the understanding of these pathogenic channel mutations should lead to improved treatments of such hereditary diseases in humans.  (+info)

Emerging perspectives in store-operated Ca2+ entry: roles of Orai, Stim and TRP. (3/102)

Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores induces Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane through store-operated channels (SOCs). This store-operated Ca2+ influx is important for the replenishment of the Ca2+ stores, and is also involved in many signaling processes by virtue of the ability of intracellular Ca2+ to act as a second messenger. For many years, the molecular identities of particular SOCs, as well as the signaling mechanisms by which these channels are activated, have been elusive. Recently, however, the mammalian proteins STIM1 and Orai1 were shown to be necessary for the activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry in a variety of mammalian cells. Here we present molecular, pharmacological, and electrophysiological properties of SOCs, with particular focus on the roles that STIM1 and Orai1 may play in the signaling processes that regulate various pathways of store-operated entry.  (+info)

Chloride channelopathy in myotonic dystrophy resulting from loss of posttranscriptional regulation for CLCN1. (4/102)

Transmembrane chloride ion conductance in skeletal muscle increases during early postnatal development. A transgenic mouse model of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) displays decreased sarcolemmal chloride conductance. Both effects result from modulation of chloride channel 1 (CLCN1) expression, but the respective contributions of transcriptional vs. posttranscriptional regulation are unknown. Here we show that alternative splicing of CLCN1 undergoes a physiological splicing transition during the first 3 wk of postnatal life in mice. During this interval, there is a switch to production of CLCN1 splice products having an intact reading frame, an upregulation of CLCN1 mRNA encoding full-length channel protein, and an increase of CLCN1 function, as determined by patch-clamp analysis of single muscle fibers. In a transgenic mouse model of DM1, however, the splicing transition does not occur, CLCN1 channel function remains low throughout the postnatal interval, and muscle fibers display myotonic discharges. Thus alternative splicing is a posttranscriptional mechanism regulating chloride conductance during muscle development, and the chloride channelopathy in a transgenic mouse model of DM1 results from a failure to execute a splicing transition for CLCN1.  (+info)

TRPpathies. (5/102)

Many human diseases are caused by mutations in ion channels. Dissecting the pathogenesis of these 'channelopathies' has yielded important insights into the regulation of vital biological processes by ions and has become a productive tool of modern ion channel biology. One of the best examples of a synergism between the clinical and basic science aspects of a modern biological topic is cystic fibrosis. Not only did the identification of the ion channel mutated in cystic fibrosis pinpoint the root cause of this disease, but it also has significantly advanced our understanding of basic biological processes as diverse as protein folding and epithelial fluid and electrolyte secretion. The list of confirmed 'channelopathies' is growing and several members of the TRP family of ion channels have been implicated in human diseases such as mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV), autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSG), hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcaemia (HSH), and several forms of cancer. Analysing pathogenesis of the diseases linked to TRP dysregulation provides an exciting means of identifying novel functions of TRP channels.  (+info)

Transient receptor potential cation channels in disease. (6/102)

The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily consists of a large number of cation channels that are mostly permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations. The 28 mammalian TRP channels can be subdivided into six main subfamilies: the TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPP (polycystin), TRPML (mucolipin), and the TRPA (ankyrin) groups. TRP channels are expressed in almost every tissue and cell type and play an important role in the regulation of various cell functions. Currently, significant scientific effort is being devoted to understanding the physiology of TRP channels and their relationship to human diseases. At this point, only a few channelopathies in which defects in TRP genes are the direct cause of cellular dysfunction have been identified. In addition, mapping of TRP genes to susceptible chromosome regions (e.g., translocations, breakpoint intervals, increased frequency of polymorphisms) has been considered suggestive of the involvement of these channels in hereditary diseases. Moreover, strong indications of the involvement of TRP channels in several diseases come from correlations between levels of channel expression and disease symptoms. Finally, TRP channels are involved in some systemic diseases due to their role as targets for irritants, inflammation products, and xenobiotic toxins. The analysis of transgenic models allows further extrapolations of TRP channel deficiency to human physiology and disease. In this review, we provide an overview of the impact of TRP channels on the pathogenesis of several diseases and identify several TRPs for which a causal pathogenic role might be anticipated.  (+info)

KATP channel mutation confers risk for vein of Marshall adrenergic atrial fibrillation. (7/102)

BACKGROUND: A 53-year-old female presented with a 10-year history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), precipitated by activity and refractory to medical therapy. In the absence of traditional risk factors for disease, a genetic defect in electrical homeostasis underlying stress-induced AF was explored. INVESTIGATIONS: Echocardiography, cardiac perfusion stress imaging, invasive electrophysiology with isoproterenol provocation, genomic DNA sequencing of K(ATP) channel genes, exclusion of mutation in 2,000 individuals free of AF, reconstitution of channel defect with molecular phenotyping, and verification of pathogenic link in targeted knockout. DIAGNOSIS: K(ATP) channelopathy caused by missense mutation (Thr1547Ile) of the ABCC9 gene conferring predisposition to adrenergic AF originating from the vein of Marshall. MANAGEMENT: Disruption of arrhythmogenic gene-environment substrate at the vein of Marshall by radiofrequency ablation.  (+info)

TRP channels in disease. (8/102)

"Transient receptor potential" cation channels (TRP channels) play a unique role as cell sensors, are involved in a plethora of Ca(2+)-mediated cell functions, and play a role as "gate-keepers" in many homeostatic processes such as Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) reabsorption. The variety of functions to which TRP channels contribute and the polymodal character of their activation predict that failures in correct channel gating or permeation will likely contribute to complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Dysfunctions of TRPs cause human diseases but are also involved in a complex manner to contribute and determine the progress of several diseases. Contributions to this special issue discuss channelopathias for which mutations in TRP channels that induce "loss-" or "gain-of-function" of the channel and can be considered "disease-causing" have been identified. The role of TRPs will be further elucidated in complex diseases of the intestinal, renal, urogenital, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. Finally, the role of TRPs will be discussed in neuronal diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.  (+info)

The Hot Topic Keynotes: Channelopathies session of the 26th International Neurotoxicology Conference brought together toxicologists studying interactions of environmental toxicants with ion channels, to review the state of the science of channelopathies and to discuss the potential for interactions between environmental exposures and channelopathies. This session presented an overview of chemicals altering ion channel function and background about different channelopathy models. It then explored the available evidence that individuals with channelopathies may or may not be more sensitive to effects of chemicals. Dr. Tim Shafer began his presentation by defining what channelopathies are and presenting several examples of channelopathies. Channelopathies are mutations that alter the function of ion channels such that they result in clinically-definable syndromes including forms of epilepsy, migraine headache, ataxia and other neurological and cardiac syndromes (Kullmann, 2010).

Sudden cardiac death: focus on the genetics of channelopathies and cardiomyopathies | Journal of Biomedical Science | Full TextSudden cardiac death: focus on the genetics of channelopathies and cardiomyopathies | Journal of Biomedical Science | Full Text
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) describes a natural and unexpected death from cardiac causes occurring within a short period of time (generally within 1 h of symptom onset) in the absence of any other potentially lethal condition. Most SCD-related diseases have a genetic basis; in particular congenital cardiac channelopathies and cardiomyopathies have been described as leading causes of SCD. Congenital cardiac channelopathies are primary electric disorders caused by mutations affecting genes encoding cardiac ion channels or associated proteins, whereas cardiomyopathies are related to mutations in genes encoding several categories of proteins, including those of sarcomeres, desmosomes, the cytoskeleton, and the nuclear envelope. The purpose of this review is to provide a general overview of the main genetic variants that have been linked to the major congenital cardiac channelopathies and cardiomyopathies. Functional alterations of the related proteins are also described.

This Research Topic is cross-listed in the Frontiers in Physiology section: Membrane Physiology and Membrane Biophysics and the Frontiers in Pharmacology section: Pharmacology of Ion Channels and Channelopathies Ion channels are specialized membrane proteins responsible for the ions fluxes across the membrane of all cells of the human body. They open in response to voltage changes or binding of a chemical messenger, such as a neurotransmitter (i.e. ligand-gated ion channels). These proteins play heterogeneous and often critical physiological roles in both excitable and non-excitable cells, such as impulse generation and propagation, synaptic transmission and plasticity, hormonal secretion, hearth rhythm, blood pressure regulation, salt-water balance, cell proliferation and survival, to mention a few. As a consequence, it is no surprise that defects in ion channels function may cause diverse and severe diseases collectively known as channelopathies, which

Voltage-gated sodium channels belong to the superfamily of voltage-gated cation channels. Their structure is based on domains comprising a voltage sensor domain (S1-S4 segments) and a pore domain (S5-S6 segments). Mutations in positively charged residues of the S4 segments may allow protons or cations to pass directly through the gating pore constriction of the voltage sensor domain; these anomalous currents are referred to as gating pore or omega (ω) currents. In the skeletal muscle disorder hypokalemic periodic paralysis, and in arrhythmic dilated cardiomyopathy, inherited mutations of S4 arginine residues promote omega currents that have been shown to be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of these sodium channel disorders ...

Chloride channels (ClCs) have gained worldwide interest because of their molecular diversity, widespread distribution in mammalian tissues and organs, and their link to various human diseases. Nine different ClCs have been molecularly identified and functionally characterized in mammals. ClC-2 is one of nine mammalian members of the ClC family. It possesses unique biophysical characteristics, pharmacological properties, and molecular features that distinguish it from other ClC family members. ClC-2 has wide organ/tissue distribution and is ubiquitously expressed. Published studies consistently point to a high degree of conservation of ClC-2 function and regulation across various species from nematodes to humans over vast evolutionary time spans. ClC-2 has been intensively and extensively studied over the past two decades, leading to the accumulation of a plethora of information to advance our understanding of its pathophysiological functions; however, many controversies still exist.

Tomorrow, we are seeing our first patient, and he has an arrythmia. Presumably its due to a potassium channel problem, because we had a 56-page review article to read for tomorrow about all these different channelopathies, and that was one of the channel diseases that it mentioned. In college you learn about potassium channels and sodium channels and how they are responsible for action potentials in neurons. But there are also calcium channels and chloride channels that can cause diseases if they arent working properly, and then there are several subtypes of each, as well as other channels that arent specific for a single ion. Some channels are expressed in certain tissues and not in others; some are voltage-gated while others are ligand-gated or voltage-insensitive; some activate or inactivate slower or faster than others do.

There are few areas in cardiology in which the impact of genetics and genetic testing on clinical management has been as great as in cardiac channelopathies,arrhythmic disorders of genetic origin related to the ionic control of the cardiac action potential. Among the growing number of diseases identified as channelopathies,3 are sufficiently prevalent to represent significant clinical and societal problems and to warrant adequate understanding by practicing cardiologists: long QT syndrome,catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia,and Brugada syndrome. This review will focus selectively on the impact of genetic discoveries on clinical management of these 3 diseases. For each disorder,we will discuss to what extent genetic knowledge and clinical genetic test results modify the way cardiologists should approach and manage affected patients. We will also address the optimal use of genetic testing,including its potential limitations and the potential medico-legal implications when such ...

Prospective In Vitro Models of Channelopathies and CardiomyopathiesProspective In Vitro Models of Channelopathies and Cardiomyopathies
An |i|in vitro|/i| heart disease model is a promising model used for identifying the genes responsible for the disease, evaluating the effects of drugs, and regenerative medicine. We were interested in disease models using a patient-induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived cardiomyocytes because of their similarity to a patient’s tissues. However, as these studies have just begun, we would like to review the literature in this and other related fields and discuss the path for future models of molecular biology that can help to diagnose and cure diseases, and its involvement in regenerative medicine. The heterogeneity of iPS cells and/or differentiated cardiomyocytes has been recognized as a problem. An |i|in vitro|/i| heart disease model should be evaluated using molecular biological analyses, such as mRNA and micro-RNA expression profiles and proteomic analysis.

Genetic screening is now commonplace for patients suspected of having inherited cardiac conditions. Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in disease-associated genes pose problems for the diagnostician and reliable methods for evaluating VUS function are required. Although function is difficult to interrogate for some genes, heritable channelopathies have established mechanisms that should be amenable to well-validated evaluation techniques. The cellular electrophysiology techniques of voltage- and patch- clamp have a long history of successful use and have been central to identifying both the roles of genes involved in different forms of congenital Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) and the mechanisms by which mutations lead to aberrant ion channel function underlying clinical phenotypes. This is particularly evident for KCNQ1, KCNH2 and SCN5A, mutations in which underlie | 90% of genotyped LQTS cases (the LQT1-LQT3 subtypes). Recent studies utilizing high throughput (HT) planar patch-clamp recording have

A leading cause of death in western countries is sudden cardiac death, and can be associated with genetic disease. Next-generation sequencing has allowed thorough analysis of genes associated with this entity, including, most recently, titin. We aimed to identify potentially pathogenic genetic variants in titin. A total of 1126 samples were analyzed using a custom sequencing panel including major genes related to sudden cardiac death. Our cohort was divided into three groups: 432 cases from patients with cardiomyopathies, 130 cases from patients with channelopathies, and 564 post-mortem samples from individuals showing anatomical healthy hearts and non-conclusive causes of death after comprehensive autopsy. None of the patients included had definite pathogenic variants in the genes analyzed by our custom cardio-panel. Retrospective analysis comparing the in-house database and available public databases also was performed. We identified 554 rare variants in titin, 282 of which were novel. Seven were

Defining a Novel Role for the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Wwp1 in Cardiac Arrh by Wassim Antoine BasheerDefining a Novel Role for the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Wwp1 in Cardiac Arrh by Wassim Antoine Basheer
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most common cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for more than 3 million deaths annually with estimates in the United States ranging between 300,000 to 350,000 deaths each year. Because SCD is the common endpoint of a variety of heart pathologies that predispose to ventricular arrhythmogenesis (e.g., coronary artery disease, cardiomyopatheis, or channelopathies), therapies that prevent SCD would have a major impact in medical practice as there are few options that currently exist. In the heart, gap junctions function as specialized channels that localize to the boundary between neighboring cardiomyocytes in a structure known as the intercalated disc (ID). Each gap junction is composed of protein subunits called connexins (Cx) that work in concert to maintain a coordinated wave of electrical excitation among cardiomyocytes in order to ensure a proper and synchronized contraction of the myocardium. The precise localization of gap junctions to the ID is established

Episodic phenomena (epilepsy, migraine, and cardiac arrhythmias) are among the most common disorders afflicting humans. Early in his career, Ptácek began studying patients with rare Mendelian muscle disorders (periodic paralysis) and proposed these as a model of more common episodic disorders. In 1990, he began systematically characterizing genes causing familial forms of periodic paralysis. This series of landmark discoveries identified mutant ion channel genes and laid the groundwork for the field now called the channelopathies. He proposed that all the work in channelopathies of skeletal muscle would be model for episodic disorders of heart and brain. Subsequently, his group and others have identified homologous genes that (when mutated) cause cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy, and migraine. He has gone from describing new syndromes to cloning causative genes, to biological study in vitro and in vivo (animal models).. More recently, Ptácek led the team that characterized the first Mendelian ...

British Library EThOS: Molecular mechanisms of painBritish Library EThOS: Molecular mechanisms of pain
Recent scientific discoveries have confirmed a pivotal role for the NaV 1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel in human familial gain-of-function and loss-of-function pain syndromes. NaV 1.7 is comprised of four hexameric transmembrane domains encoded by SCN9A, a gene preferentially expressed in dorsal root and sympathetic ganglion neurons. Gain-of-function lesions in SCN9A lead to the development of primary erythromelalgia (PEM). To date, fourteen PEM mutations have been identified which all map to the first three domains of NaV 1.7. I have identified four SCN9A mutations, two of which map to the fourth domain of NaV 1.7 and have used a combination of molecular biology and electrophysiology tools to investigate the biophysical properties of the mutated channels. The results provide insights into the function of NaV 1.7 and are useful in a wider clinical context for offering a confident genetic diagnosis of pain channelopathies. Recessive loss-of-function mutations in SCN9A cause congenital ...

The action potential is fundamental to information processing in the brain. Neurons fire action potentials in response to a variety of inputs and action potentials exist in many different shapes, sizes and frequencies. In this course we will begin with a study of ion channels, the membrane bound biochemical switches that give the action potential its shape. Then we will explore the numerous factors that influence the nature of an individual action potential: neuronal morphology, ion channel composition, and intracellular signaling cascades. We will conclude by considering how circuits of diverse neuronal phenotypes integrate synaptic signals, which give rise to sophisticated information processing, learning and memory, and psychiatric disease. Student projects will explore how ion channel abnormalities, so-called channelopathies, influence cognition and behavior.. ...

What precisely is the driver for essential tremor? - The Neurology LoungeWhat precisely is the driver for essential tremor? - The Neurology Lounge
Neurologists have known for a long time that essential tremor has a strong genetic element. The diagnosis always feels more certain when there is another family member with tremor. The exact nature of this genetic link is however uncertain. Into this void comes a research paper suggesting that people with essential tremor may have abnormal cellular channels. Channels are proteins in the cell wall that let electrolytes like sodium and potassium in and out, and channelopathies are diseases that affect these channels. The authors of this paper studied a large essential tremor family who also suffer with epilepsy, a typical channel disorder. And the genetic tests they carried out revealed an abnormality in the SCN4A sodium channel. Correlation or causation? The mystery only deepens, I think.. ...

Large, prospective double-blinded trials to assess the safety and efficacy of ICD therapy in adults have proven the value of ICDs in a variety of disease substrates, including post-myocardial infarction, ischemia, and cardiomyopathies (15-18). Implant indications and guidelines have been developed to appropriately determine who is a good ICD candidate for both primary and secondary prevention (19,20). The sheer volume of adult patients in these studies dwarfs the pediatric ICD experience, where sudden cardiac death is fortunately relatively uncommon (except perhaps in untreated channelopathies and malignant myocarditis/cardiomyopathies). However, the rarity of diseases and cardiac events also makes determining the appropriate indications for therapy diagnostically challenging. The impact of receiving an ICD may be more substantial in a young patient, who may live for decades after initial device implantation and would be subject to multiple procedures for generator replacements and lead ...

Myotonia is a medical term that refers to a neuromuscular condition in which the relaxation of a muscle is impaired. It can affect any muscle group. Repeated effort will be needed to relax the muscle, although the condition usually improves after the muscles have warmed-up. Individuals with myotonia may have trouble releasing their grip on objects or may have difficulty rising from a seated position. They may walk with a stiff, awkward gait. Myotonia is caused by an abnormality in the muscle membrane, and is often associated with inherited neurological disorders. Myotonia is commonly seen in individuals with myotonic muscular dystrophy, myotonia congenita, and in people who have one of a group of neurological disorders called the channelopathies, which are inherited diseases that are caused by mutations in the chloride sodium or potassium channels that regulate the muscle membrane.

Introduction: Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) due to Kir2.1mutations typically manifests as periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias and developmental abnormalities but is often difficult to diagnose clinically. This study was undertaken to determine whether sarcolemmal dysfunction could be identified with muscle velocity recovery cycles (MVRCs). Methods: Eleven genetically confirmed ATS patients and 20 normal controls were studied. MVRCs were recorded with 1, 2, and 5 conditioning stimuli and with single conditioning stimuli during intermittent repetitive stimulation at 20 Hz, in addition to the long exercise test. Results: ATS patients had longer relative refractory periods (P , 0.0001) and less early supernormality, consistent with membrane depolarization. Patients had reduced enhancement of late supernormality with 5 conditioning stimuli (P , 0.0001), and less latency reduction during repetitive stimulation (P , 0.001). Patients were separated completely from controls by combining MVRC and ...

Xina, as it was highlighted many times by the most educated specialists in MND, twitching itself is a nonspecific symptom. Moreover, twitching could be caused by several DIFFERENT underlying reasons. It could be due to decreased firing threshold, as it probbaly happens with hyperthyroid people, or due to disfunction of potassium channes in channelopathy, or it could be on the nerve level, like it happens in neuritis/MS (which also involves local neuritis) or in other MND, or in physical neural trauma. In the case of neuritis, twitchihg occurs, as far as I understand, both in cases of denervation and re-innervation, so it is really hard to say which process is predominant right now. When your inflamed nerves are healing, they may form same pattern on EMG like damaged ones (becasuse they ARE damaged). The difference is wheter you can regain strength or not AND whether the process would be confined in one nerve group or spreading to others ...

Here, in this large molecular autopsy series of medical examiner/coroner-referred cases of autopsy-negative SUD, we provide molecular evidence implicating a cardiac channelopathy as the pathogenic basis for 35% of SUD cases, including 15% with CPVT1 and now 20% with LQTS susceptibility mutations. In addition, consistent with the known natural history of both CPVT and LQTS, there was a striking gender predilection for the elucidated channelopathies, with CPVT1-associated mutations found predominantly among male decedents, whereas LQTS-associated mutations predominantly involved female decedents (30,31)..

Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare autosomal dominant channelopathy characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac dysrhythmias, and distinct facial and skeletal characteristics, that may be variably present in the affected members. Mutations in the KCNJ2 and KCNJ5 gene have been associated with this disorder. We describe a family in which several members presented with different ATS phenotypes. The proband, a 4-year-old boy, presented with recurrent episodes of muscle weakness from an early age; two siblings suffered cardiac arrhythmia but had never experienced episodes of paralysis; their mother reported occasional muscle pain after exercise and unspecified cardiac arrhythmias ...
