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;
