Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis, Type 1; Hokpp1

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).
