Abstract excerpt
We studied mutations of the adult voltage-gated skeletal muscle sodium channel gene in 12 families, from diverse ethnic backgrounds, with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HyperPP). We describe a novel procedure, using ligase chain reaction (LCR), to simultaneously identify two different point mutations (previously described) and one rare, apparently benign polymorphism that results in a nonconservative amino acid...
