An important question in the pathophysiology of dominantly inherited diseases, such as channelopathies, is the level of expression of the mutant protein. In our study, we address this issue by comparing the gating defects of two human muscle Na ⍣ channel mutants (R1448C and R1448P) causing paramyotonia congenita in native muscle specimens from two patients with those of the same mutant recombinant channels expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells. Patch-clamp recordings of transfected HEK-293 cells revealed a pronounced slowing of the Na ⍣ current decay, a left-shifted and decreased voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation, and an increased frequency of channel reopenings for mutant compared with wild-type channels.
