Key result
Sequencing of the CLCN1 gene in 5 Chinese patients with myotonia congenita identified 7 point mutations, including 3 novel mutations (R47W, V229M, IVS19+2T>C) and 4 known mutations.

What are the CLCN1 gene mutations present in Chinese patients with myotonia congenita?
The identification of 3 novel CLCN1 mutations expands the genetic spectrum and provides insights into genotype-phenotype correlations for myotonia congenita in the Chinese population.

Broadens CLCN1 variant spectrum in Chinese myotonia congenita; leaves open genotype-phenotype correlations pending larger studies.
Liu et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Myotonia congenita (n=5). CLCN1 gene mutations was evaluated on Identification of CLCN1 gene mutations. Sequencing of the CLCN1 gene in 5 Chinese patients with myotonia congenita identified 7 point mutations, including 3 novel mutations (R47W, V229M, IVS19+2T>C) and 4 known mutations.
