Myotonia Congenita, Autosomal Dominant

Description

Autosomal dominant myotonia congenita is a nondystrophic skeletal muscle disorder characterized by muscle stiffness and an inability of the muscle to relax after voluntary contraction (Sun et al., 2001). Thomsen disease is less common and less severe than Becker disease.See also paramyotonia congenita (PMC ) and potassium-aggravated myotonia (OMIM ), overlapping phenotypes caused by mutations in the SCN4A gene (OMIM ).
