Persistent multifocal conduction block in vasculitic neuropathy with IgM anti-gangliosides.

abstract：:Muscle sodium-channel disorders cover a spectrum of rare myotonic diseases. In a German family with 17 affected individuals in four generations, we identified a heterozygous missense mutation in exon 24 A1481D (c.4442 C>A) of the voltage-gated sodium channel gene (SCN4A) alpha subunit. Phenotypes of 12 family members ...
