Abstract:Skeletal sodium channel mutations have been known to demonstrate a multitude of clinical manifestations of which one such commonly known entity is paramyotonia congenita. We describe the clinical features of proband in our case report and the various phenotypic manifestations described with the mentioned mutation from different centres. Our case serves to highlight the heterogeneity that exists in SCN4A mutations and the possible effect of other genetic/environmental factors in determining the final phenotype.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
