Mutation analysis of two patients with hypokalemic periodic paralysis and suspected malignant hyperthermia
11 May 2004

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) and malignant hyperthermia (MH) are autosomal-dominant genetically heterogeneous ion channelopathies. MH has been described in patients with HypoPP, suggesting a potential link between these disorders. However, a common genetic determinant has not been described.
