Mutation analysis of CACNA1S and SCN4A in patients with hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
Mutations in CACNA1S (calcium channel, voltage‑dependent, L type, alpha 1S subunit) and SCN4A (sodium channel, voltage‑gated, type IV, alpha subunit) are associated with hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP). The aim of the current study was to investigate CACNA1S and SCN4A mutations in patients with HPP. Mutations in CACNA1S and SCN4A were detected in three familial hypokalemic periodic paralys...

متن کاملHypokalemic periodic paralysis due to the SCN4A R672H mutation in a Turkish family.
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by episodic attacks of muscle weakness associated with a decrease in blood potassium levels. Recently, mutations in the gene coding for the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit (SCN4A) have been reported. We detected the R672H mutation in one HypoPP Turkish family.
متن کاملPrimary hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
Primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis (PHPP) is a rare entity first described by Shakanowitch in 1882. Only a few cases of PHPP have been reported in Indian literature in adults(l). In children hypokalemic paralysis secondary to gastroenteritis and chronic renal disease is much more common than primary disease(2). We hereby report a case of PHPP in a child, successfully managed with acetazolam...
متن کاملHyperthyroid hypokalemic periodic paralysis
Hyperthyroid periodic paralysis (HPP) is a rare life threatening complication of hyperthyroidism commonly occurring in young Asian males but sporadically found in other races. It is characterised by hypokalemia and acute onset paraparesis with prevalence of one in one hundred thousand (1 in 100000). The symptoms resolve promptly with potassium supplementation. Nonselective beta blockers like pr...
