A missense variant (R83H) of the gene (KCNE3) encoding a potassium channel-associated peptide, MinK-related peptide 2 (MiRP2), has been reported in periodic paralysis patients. In the current study, no difference in the frequency of the MiRP2-R83H variant between periodic paralysis patients and healthy individuals was found. Furthermore, there was no segregation of this gene variant with the disease. These observations weaken the proposal that MiRP2-R83H causes periodic paralysis.
编码钾通道相关肽MinK相关肽2(MiRP2)的基因(KCNE3)的一个错义变体(R83H)已在周期性麻痹患者中被报道。在当前研究中,未发现周期性麻痹患者与健康个体之间MiRP2 - R83H变体的频率存在差异。此外,该基因变体与疾病没有连锁关系。这些观察结果削弱了MiRP2 - R83H导致周期性麻痹的说法。
