Manifestation, Management and Molecular Analysis of Candidate Genes in Two Rare Cases of Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Abstract

THypoKPP is a potentially life-threatening condition which bares many similarities with FHypoKPP. THypoKPP is rare in Western countries but should be considered in sudden-onset paralysis, independently of age and especially in males. Mutations in ion channel candidate genes did not underlie the disease in the present cases.
