Periodic paralyses (PP) are characterized by episodic muscle weakness and are classified into the distinct hyperkalaemic (hyperPP) and hypokalaemic (hypoPP) forms. The dominantly-inherited form of hyperPP is caused by overactivity of Nav1.4 — the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel. Familial hypoPP results from a leaking gating pore...

Mutations in Na V 1.4, the skeletal muscle voltage-gated Na + channel, underlie several skeletal muscle channelopathies. We report here the functional characterization of two substitutions targeting the R1451 residue and resulting in 3 distinct clinical phenotypes. The R1451L is a novel pathogenic substitution found in two unrelated...
