Abstract excerpt
Thyrotoxic (hypokalemic) periodic paralysis (TPP) is a frequent complication of thyrotoxicosis among Chinese men. To determine the genetic association of TPP, we studied 97 male TPP patients, 77 Graves' disease patients without TPP, and 100 normal male subjects. Mutations of the voltage-dependent calcium channel (Ca(v)1.1), sodium channel (Na(v)1.4), and potassium channel (K(v)3.4), and association of the...
