Hypokalaemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is characterised by transient attacks of muscle weakness of varying duration and severity accompanied by a drop in serum potassium concentration during the attacks. The largest known HypoPP family is of Dutch origin and consists of 277 members in the last five generations, 55 of whom have HypoPP inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Forty-eight persons including 28 patients with a proven diagnosis of HypoPP were used for linkage analysis. Microsatellite markers were used to exclude 45 to 50% of the genome and linkage to chromosome 1q31-32 was found. No recombinants were found between HypoPP and D1S412 and a microsatellite contained within the DHP receptor alpha 1 subunit (CACLN1A3) gene. A previously reported G to A mutation causing an arginine to histidine substitution at residue 528 in the transmembrane segment IIS4 of the CACLN1A3 gene was shown in patients by restriction analysis of genomic PCR products.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007008 Hypokalemia Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders.

D010245 Paralyses, Familial Periodic A heterogenous group of inherited disorders characterized by recurring attacks of rapidly progressive flaccid paralysis or myotonia. These conditions have in common a mutation of the gene encoding the alpha subunit of the sodium channel in skeletal muscle. They are frequently associated with fluctuations in serum potassium levels. Periodic paralysis may also occur as a non-familial process secondary to THYROTOXICOSIS and other conditions.

D011950 Receptors, Cholinergic Cell surface proteins that bind acetylcholine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholinergic receptors are divided into two major classes, muscarinic and nicotinic, based originally on their affinity for nicotine and muscarine. Each group is further subdivided based on pharmacology, location, mode of action, and/or molecular biology.
