Clinical Diversity of SCN4A-Mutation-Associated Skeletal Muscle Sodium Channelopathy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mutations of the skeletal muscle sodium channel gene SCN4A, which is located on chromosome 17q23-25, are associated with various neuromuscular disorders that are labeled collectively as skeletal muscle sodium channelopathy. These disorders include hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP), hypokalemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita (PMC), potassium-aggravated myo...
متن کاملLink between pain and olfaction in an inherited sodium channelopathy.
In a major breakthrough in our understanding of human olfaction, a recent study showed that loss-of-function mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, encoded by the gene SCN9A, cause a loss of the sense of smell (congenital general anosmia) in mice and humans. These findings are of special clinical relevance because Nav1.7 was previously known for its essential role in the percepti...
متن کاملPain as a channelopathy.
Mendelian heritable pain disorders have provided insights into human pain mechanisms and suggested new analgesic drug targets. Interestingly, many of the heritable monogenic pain disorders have been mapped to mutations in genes encoding ion channels. Studies in transgenic mice have also implicated many ion channels in damage sensing and pain modulation. It seems likely that aberrant peripheral ...
متن کاملmytonia congenita: a muscle channelopathy
characterized by muscle stiffness and an inability of the muscle to quickly relax after voluntary contraction. although myotonia can affect any skeletal muscles, including muscles of the face and tongue, it occurs most often in the legs. myotonia causes muscle stiffness (a myotonic disorder should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient complaining of muscle stiffness) that can...
متن کاملDivalent cation-responsive myotonia and muscle paralysis in skeletal muscle sodium channelopathy.
We report a patient with paramyotonia congenita/hyperkalemic periodic paralysis due to Nav1.4 I693T mutation who had worsening of myotonia and muscle weakness in the setting of hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia with marked recovery after magnesium administration. Computer simulations of the effects of the I693T mutation were introduced in the muscle fiber model by both hyperpolarizing shifts in t...
