Abstract excerpt
Dominantly inherited channelopathies of the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.4 include hypokalaemic and hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP and hyperPP) and myotonia. HyperPP and myotonia are caused by NaV1.4 channel overactivity and overlap clinically. Instead, hypoPP is caused by gating pore currents through the voltage sensing domains (VSDs) of NaV1.4 and seldom co-exists clinically with...
