forceful contraction. We systematically screened all 23 exons of the CLCN1 gene in 88 …

Objectives: In general, large fiber sensory function is easier to assess than small fiber function
both clinically and electrophysiologically. Therefore, small fiber sensory neuropathies are …

Background: Neuromyotonia (NMT) has been postulated to be an autoimmune channelopathy,
probably by affecting voltage gated potassium channels (VGKC) leading to excitation …

Vasculitis‐associated neuropathy usually presents as multiple mononeuropathies or sensorimotor
