No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is characterized by episodes of reversible hypokalemia and weakness in thyrotoxic patients. It is commonly found in males of Asian descent and is also seen in individuals having Native American or Hispanic ancestry. Therefore genetic etiology has been hypothesized. This study, we aim to find the susceptibility genes that associate with TPP. Both candidate genes approach and genome wide association study have been conducted.
