Myotonia congenita is a genetic disease characterized by impaired muscle relaxation after forceful contraction (myotonia) and caused by mutations in the chloride channel voltage-sensitive 1 (CLCN1) gene, encoding the voltage-gated chloride channel of skeletal muscle (ClC-1). In a large cohort of cli
Autosomal dominant myotonia congenita or Thomsen's disease (OMIM\* 160800) and autosomal recessive myotonia congenita or Becker's (OMIM\* 255700) are rare nondystrophic disorders due to allelic mutations of the muscle chloride channel gene, CLCN1. We have analysed all 24 exons of the CLCN1 gene, in
