Manifestation, Management and Molecular Analysis of Candidate Genes in Two Rare Cases of Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hypokalemic periodic paralysis as a complication of thyrotoxicosis (THypoKPP) is common in Asians but not well recognized in Western countries or pediatric patients, where most cases are due to the familial variant (FHypoKPP). Ion channel gene mutations may underlie these diseases. We describe the first pediatric and a rare adult Caucasian case of THypoKPP in Finland. METHODS: Manifestation and...
