A de novo Mutation in the SCN4A Gene Causing Sodium Channel Myotonia
We describe the case of a six year old boy with findings consistent with myotonia congenita: muscular hypertrophy, stiffness when commencing movements and typical warm-up signs. The most prominent symptom was myotonia of the eyelid muscles with apparent swelling around the eyes. Even though the pronounced warm-up phenomena in our patient suggested a chloride channel-associated myotonia congenit...
متن کاملMyasthenic syndrome caused by mutation of the SCN4A sodium channel.
In a myasthenic syndrome associated with fatigable generalized weakness and recurrent attacks of respiratory and bulbar paralysis since birth, nerve stimulation at physiologic rates rapidly decremented the compound muscle action potential. Intercostal muscle studies revealed no abnormality of the resting membrane potential, evoked quantal release, synaptic potentials, acetylcholine receptor cha...
متن کاملFamilial hyperkalemic periodic paralysis caused by a de novo mutation in the sodium channel gene SCN4A
Familial hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP) is an autosomaldominant channelopathy characterized by transient and recurrent episodes of paralysis with concomitant hyperkalemia. Mutations in the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel gene SCN4A have been reported to be responsible for this disease. Here, we report the case of a 16-year-old girl with HYPP whose mutational analysis reveal...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Simulation of Qeshm Channel Currents
Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using C...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
