Na(V)1.4 DI-S4 periodic paralysis mutation R222W enhances inactivation and promotes leak current to attenuate action potentials and depolarize muscle fibers

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a skeletal muscle disease characterized by episodic weakness associated with low serum potassium. We compared clinical and biophysical effects of R222W, the first hNa(V)1.4 domain I mutation linked to this disease. R222W patients exhibited a higher density of fibers...
