Channelopathies are diseases resulting from defects in ion channel function. Over 20 years ago, mutations in genes coding for ion channels were first described in patients with neuromuscular disorders and cardiac arrhythmias, thus defining the genetic channelopathies. These include more than 120 human rare or frequent human diseases of the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system and the renal system. Today, several thousands of scientists working in many groups scattered across the world are investigating the genetic, molecular, cellular, integrative, and clinical aspects of these channelopathies. The “Channelopathy Meeting, Paris 2016” is dedicated to translational research on hereditary channelopathies. It intends to gather international scientists, physicians, geneticists and pharmacologists to share high-level knowledge on channelopathies.
