Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Periodic paralysis is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| CACNA1Scalcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S | Always | In 2 conditions |
| KCNJ18potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 18 | Always | In 1 condition |
| KCNJ2potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 2 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| KCNJ5potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 5 | Always | In 1 condition |
| SCN4Asodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4 | Always | In 4 conditions |
| ABCB6ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 6 (LAN blood group) | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| FAHfumarylacetoacetate hydrolase | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
