Description
This book describes human hereditary ion channel diseases of voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels covering the diverse fields of medicine
myology, neurology, cardiology, and nephrology requiring a wide and interdisciplinary readership. Interesting parallels in pathogenetic
mechanisms of disease are especially emphasized to interest even highly specialized readers in entities outside of their fields. Each
author has written an objective overview of his or her particular subject in a way that should allow the reader within a short period
of time to obtain a comprehensive picture of the present state of art.
Contents
Preface (F. Lehmann-Horn and K. Jurkat-Rott). Introduction.
Muscle diseases.
1. Sodium and calcium channelopathies of
sarcolemma: periodic paralyses,
paramyotonia congenita and potassium-aggravated myotonia (N. Mitrovic and H. Lerche). 2. Muscle chloride
channelopathies: myotonia congenita (R. Ruédel).
3. Molecular aspects of malignant hyperthermia and central core disease
(P.J.
Lynch and T.V. McCarthy).
4. Mutations affecting muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and their
role in congenital myasthenic syndromes
(D. Beeson and J. Newsom-Davis).
5. Ion channel defects in primary electrical diseases of the heart
(G.E. Kirsch).
Neuronal
diseases.
6. Migraine and ataxias (A. Ducros, C. Denier and E. Tournier-Lasserve).
7. Genetic analysis of idiopathic epilepsies:
the role of ion channel muta-
tions (O.K. Steinlein).
8. The inhibitory glycine receptor as a model of hereditary channelopathies (K.
Becker, C.-M. Becker and H.-G. Breitinger).
Internal diseases.
9. Cystic fibrosis (R. Greger).
10. Dent's disease:
an hereditary nephrolithiasis caused by dysfunction of
a voltage-gated chloride channel (C. Fahlke).
11. Liddle's syndrome and pseudohypoaldosteronism
type I (S. Gruénder).
12. The role of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in familial hyperinsulinism (B. Glaser and L. Aguilar-Bryan).
13. Hereditary hypokalemic salt-losing tubulopathies
(N. Jeck, M. Conrad and H.W. Seyberth). Appendix. Index.
