Inherited muscle and brain channelopathies.
In the past 5 years, advances in the complementary fields of neurogenetics and cellular electrophysiology have resulted in an explosion of knowledge about a group of disorders now known as the neurological channelopathies. These advances have resulted in more accurate DNA-based diagnosis and have increased our understanding of cellular pathophysiology. This is leading to more tailored therapies for patients with these disorders.
