hypokalemic periodic paralysis
- hypokalemic periodic paralysis
- an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurring attacks of rapidly progressive flaccid paralysis accompanied by low serum potassium levels. Several types have been distinguished: type 1 is due to mutation in the CACNL1A3 gene (locus: 1q32), which encodes a subunit of a skeletal muscle calcium channel; type 2 is due to mutation in the SCNA4A gene, (locus 17q13.1-17q13.3), which encodes a subunit of a skeletal muscle sodium channel.
