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
Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, a X-linked disorder, is the most frequent inborn error of the urea cycle. Point mutations and small deletions/insertions in the OTC gene are responsible for the majority of the cases and have a "private"character with little recurrence. We report on eleve
