Sponsored diagnostic testing programs for Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis (hypoPP)
Hypokalemic Primary Periodic Paralysis (HypoPP) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder marked by episodic muscle weakness or paralysis triggered by drops in blood potassium levels. Symptoms often begin in childhood or adolescence and can be provoked by rest after exercise, high-carbohydrate meals, or stress. Genetic testing helps confirm the diagnosis by identifying pathogenic variants in key ion-channel genes.
