| Description | Becker’s Disease is an autosomal recessive type of myotonia congenita. Worldwide prevalence is about 1/100000. It is linked to mutations in CLCN1, the gene encoding skeletal muscle chloride channel. It reduces flow of chloride ions during repolarization and leads to sustained muscle contractions. Typical clinical symptoms are myotonic stiffness and “warm-up” phenomenon. |
