Abstract excerpt
Normokalemic periodic paralysis (normoPP) is a type of skeletal muscle function disorder which is characterized by paralysis attack with concomitant normal serum potassium level. We previously reported that R675Q mutation of human skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel α subunit (SCN4A) may be the novel mutation which caused normoPP in Chinese families. However, it is still not clear how this mutation...
