Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Mutations in the SCN4A gene encoding a voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav1.4) cause hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HyperPP) and hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP). Typically, both HyperPP and HypoPP are considered as monogenic disorders caused by a missense mutation with a large functional effect. However, a few cases with atypical periodic paralysis phenotype have been caused by multiple...
