Abstract:
Hereditary skeletal muscle ion channelopathies are a group of heterogeneous hereditary diseases caused by mutations in the skeletal muscle ion channel genes.According to clinical manifestations, hereditary skeletal muscle channelopathies are classified into two major categories:non-dystrophic myotonia and periodic paralysis. Non-dystrophic myotonia includes myotonia congenita, paramyotonia congenita, and sodium channel myotonia. Periodic paralysis includes hypokalemic type, normal serum potassium type, hyperkalemic type, and Andersen-Tawil syndrome. Because of an overlap between non-dystrophic myotonia and periodic paralysis in clinical phenotype and molecular mechanism, a few patients can simultaneously exhibit the phenotypes of both conditions, indicating that hereditary skeletal muscle channelopathies are a continuity in the clinical spectrum. This article reviews the classifications, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, genetic pathological types, pathogenic mechanisms, and treatment approaches and progress of hereditary skeletal muscle ion channelopathies.
