Periodic paralysis mutation MiRP2-R83H in controls: Interpretations and general recommendation.

Abstract excerpt

An R83H point mutation in KCNE3-encoded MiRP2 has been reported to cause 2% of all cases of familial periodic paralysis. The authors found MiRP2-R83H in 3 of 321 control subjects and in 5 unaffected related individuals. Provocation of an unaffected carrier with glucose or KCl did not induce weakness. The authors propose that causality criteria for mutations require exclusion of mutations in n = ln(P)/ln(1 - p(1))...
