Recently, two genomewide association studies have found a susceptibility locus on chromosome 17q24.3 near the KCNJ2 gene, which is responsible for another cause of periodic paralysis, the Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS).

Mutations in KCNJ2, a gene encoding the inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir2.1, are associated with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS), which is characterized by (1) ventricular tachyarrhythmias associated with QT (QU)-interval prolongation, (2) periodic paralysis, and (3) dysmorphic features.

Taken together, our data suggest the inclusion of the KCNJ2 gene in the molecular screening of patients with periodic paralysis, even when the classical AS dysmorphic features are not present.

Mutations of the KCNJ2 gene are a major underlying cause of Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS), a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder that is characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and developmental dysmorphic features.

Mutations in KCNJ2, the gene encoding the human inward rectifier potassium channel Kir2.1, have been identified in Andersen syndrome (or Andersen-Tawil syndrome), an inherited disorder characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and dysmorphic features.

Evaluation of candidate loci culminated in the identification of a heterozygous missense mutation (R67W) in KCNJ2, the gene encoding the inward-rectifying potassium current, Kir2.1, in 41 members of a kindred in which ventricular arrhythmias (13 of 16 female members [81%]) and periodic paralysis (10 of 25 male members [40%]) segregated as autosomal dominant traits with sex-specific variable expressivity.
