Periodic Paralysis Panel (seq & del/dup of 9 genes)
Use
This panel is designed for the molecular evaluation of individuals with clinical suspicion of periodic paralysis, enabling detection of sequence variants as well as deletions and duplications across nine genes implicated in hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, atypical periodic paralyses, and Andersen-Tawil syndrome. Genetic testing assists in confirming diagnoses, guiding management, and family testing planning.

Limitations
Most deletions and duplications involving coding exons are detected, but technical limitations or sequence properties may reduce resolution for some genes; regions with inadequate sequencing or copy number data may require alternate methods. Reportable variants include pathogenic, likely pathogenic, and variants of uncertain significance; benign and likely benign variants are not routinely reported but are available on request.
