What Tissues are Commonly Affected by Channelopathies?
Channelopathies can affect a variety of tissues, but they are most commonly associated with the nervous system and muscles. For example, mutations in sodium channels can lead to epilepsy or periodic paralysis, while potassium channelopathies may cause cardiac arrhythmias. In histological studies, affected tissues often show abnormalities at the cellular level, such as altered cell morphology or disrupted tissue organization.
