Genetic Research For Periodic Paralysis, Rare Disease | What, How, Why? Part 1 | Ask The Expert EP03

In Part 1 of this 2 part series on the importance of Genetic Research as it pertains to Periodic Paralysis, Dr. Cannon explains in detail the process of his research for PP. In part 1, we discover how he and his genetic team modifies DNA in mice to mimic muscled excitability in periodic paralysis patients. We further learn of the exact process and why his work is important. In Part 2, Dr. Cannon further discusses mutations on genes in ION channels, how they test the muscles as well as how you can participate in funding the research.
