	'''Channelopathy''' is a term that refers to diseases caused by disturbed function of ion channel subunits or the proteins that regulate them. These diseases may be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Channelopathies are known to affect a variety of body systems, and can result in symptoms ranging from mild to severe.
