Abstract

Periodic paralysis (PP) is an uncommon inherited disorder causing recurrent episodes of muscle weakness, with an incidence of 0.001%. Normokalemic periodic paralysis (NormoKPP) as the rarest subtype of PP contains both familial and sporadic. Familial NormoKPP caused by the p.M1592V mutation of the skeletal muscle sodium channel alpha subunit (SCN4A) gene is rarely reported. Only three pedigrees of NormoKPP related to mutations in the SCN4A p.M1592V have been previously reported. We herein presented a family case of NormoKPP associated with the SCN4A p.M1592V mutation, in which respiratory muscle paralysis occurred in the proband while not in his children. Moreover, we conducted a thorough literature review. To our knowledge, this is the first report of respiratory muscle paralysis as a symptom of NormoKPP associated with mutation in the SCN4A p.M1592V.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,520,426
of 23,088,369 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#9,014
of 12,001 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,020
of 329,367 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#246
of 315 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,088,369 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,001 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,367 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 315 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
