Abstract excerpt
In three families with hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOPP) we have confirmed the presence of a missense mutation (arginine 528 to histidine) within the gene CACNL1A3 encoding the alpha 1 subunit of the L-type, voltage-sensitive calcium channel. Additionally, we have identified two novel polymorphisms within this gene located in close proximity to the mutation. Haplotype analysis using these and other...
