The periodic paralyses are characterized by episodic muscle weakness often related to potassium levels. They include hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis (HyperPP), hypokalaemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP), and Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) caused by mutations in genes encoding for subunits of channel proteins of the skeletal muscle membrane.
