“…Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOKPP) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder characterized by flaccid paralysis accompanied by lowered serum potassium levels. …”

HYPOKALEMIC PERIODIC PARALYSIS IS LINKED TO THE ALPHA-1 SUBUNIT OF THE DIHYDROPYRIDINE-SENSITIVE CALCIUM-CHANNEL AT 1Q31-32 by Bulman, D, Tollar, L, Murray, J, Allon, M, Cousin, H, Crackower, M, Hudson, A, Ebers, G

HYPOKALEMIC PERIODIC PARALYSIS MAY NOT BE DUE TO MUTATIONS WITHIN ALPHA(1) SUBUNIT OF THE DIHYDROPYRIDINE-SENSITIVE CALCIUM-CHANNEL AT 1Q31-32 by Bulman, D, Tollar, L, Murray, J, Allon, M, Cousin, H, Hudson, A, Ebers, G

Linkage analysis of candidate loci in autosomal dominant myotonia congenita. by Abdalla, J, Casley, W, Hudson, A, Murphy, E, Cousin, H, Armstrong, H, Ebers, G

“…An adult skeletal muscle sodium channel (ASkM1) gene maps to chromosome 17q23-25, and defects in this gene are almost certainly responsible for at least three variants of hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HPP)--myotonic HPP, nonmyotonic HPP, and paramyotonia congenita. …”

The skeletal muscle sodium and chloride channel diseases. by Hudson, A, Ebers, G, Bulman, D

“…Hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita and a small heterogeneous group of related 'pure' myotonias are autosomal dominant disorders and are due to at least 16 different mutations in the SCN4A (SkM1) adult skeletal muscle sodium channel gene on chromosome 17q23-25. …”
