Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis: a case induced by concurrent hyperthyroidism

Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is an uncommon genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of muscle weakness and hypokalemia, typically starting in early adulthood. The existence of hyperthyroidism in the presence of HypoPP is more strongly associated with a diagnosis of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP), with most cases occurring in Asian males with pathogenic KCNJ2 or KCNJ18 variants and without a family history of the condition.
