Familial Periodic Paralysis, also known as paralyses, familial periodic, is related to periodic paralysis and myotonic disease, and has symptoms including muscle cramp, muscle rigidity and muscle spasticity. An important gene associated with Familial Periodic Paralysis is SCN4A (Sodium Voltage-Gated Channel Alpha Subunit 4), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Nervous system development and Activation of cAMP-Dependent PKA. Affiliated tissues include skeletal muscle and thyroid, and related phenotypes are nervous system and growth/size/body region
