Ion Channel Diseases

Ion channel dysfunction in humans leads to impairment of the excitable processes necessary for the normal function of several tissues, such as muscle and brain. This title presents an overview of inherited channelopathies in humans, including clinical, genetic and molecular aspects of these conditions, and genomic and modeling research approaches.
