" /> Hypokalemic periodic paralysis, type 1 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Hypokalemic periodic paralysis, type 1;

Symbol : HOKPP1;

CISMeF acronym : HOKPP; HOKPP1;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Hypokalemic periodic paralysis; HOKPP;

Description : There are 2 dominantly inherited, clinically similar types of episodic flaccid generalized weakness, HOKPP and HYPP, that are distinguished by the changes in serum potassium levels during paralytic attacks. In contrast to HYPP, myotonia is usually not present in HOKPP (Jurkat-Rott et al., 2000). Hypokalemic periodic paralysis may also occur as a rare complication of thyrotoxicosis (see TTPP1, 188580), a disorder with a high frequency in individuals of Asian descent (Kung, 2006).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the alpha-1S subunit of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel gene (CACNA1S, 114208.0001).;

Laboratory abnormalities : Hypokalemia occurs during paralytic attacks;

Prefixed ID : #170400;
