MeSH Heading: Paralyses, Familial Periodic
Tree Number(s): C05.651.701; C10.668.491.650; C16.320.565.618.711; C18.452.648.618.711
Unique ID: D010245
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010245
Annotation: a specific disease entity: see MeSH definition
Scope Note: A heterogenous group of inherited disorders characterized by recurring attacks of rapidly progressive flaccid paralysis or myotonia. These conditions have in common a mutation of the gene encoding the alpha subunit of the sodium channel in skeletal muscle. They are frequently associated with fluctuations in serum potassium levels. Periodic paralysis may also occur as a non-familial process secondary to THYROTOXICOSIS and other conditions. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1481)
Entry Term(s): Familial Periodic Paralysis; Normokalemic Periodic Paralysis; Periodic Paralysis, Familial
