High-Yield Explanation
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) type 1 is not a neurological channelopathy. But SCA type 6 is a neurological channelopathy. Channelopathies refers to a wide variety of neurologic diseases caused by dysfunction of ion channels in the excitable membranes. These are due to inherited mutations of genes encoding ion channels in muscle, neurons and glia. Severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy, episodic ataxia type 1, 2, familial hemiplegic migraine, spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 are examples of neurologic channelopathy.
