Three Quarter Horse stallions and 5 of their 11 tested progeny were diagnosed as affected with the inherited autosomal dominant defect hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis in Victoria in 1992. The diagnoses were based on the appearance of clinical signs and associated increased plasma potassium concentrations in response to oral potassium loading. All affected horses were descendants of the American Quarter Horse Impressive. Indirect evidence indicates that at least 3 other affected Quarter Horse stallions have stood or are standing at stud in Australia. The clinical details of the affected horses are described and the size of the affected population in Australia is discussed.
1992年在维多利亚州，3匹夸特马种公马及其11匹经检测的后代中有5匹被诊断患有遗传性常染色体显性缺陷——高钾性周期性麻痹。诊断依据是临床症状的出现以及口服钾负荷后血浆钾浓度相应升高。所有患病马匹均为美国夸特马“令人印象深刻”的后代。间接证据表明，至少还有另外3匹患病的夸特马种公马曾在澳大利亚配种站配种或仍在配种。文中描述了患病马匹的临床细节，并讨论了澳大利亚患病群体的规模。
