Fig. 1From: A novel CACNA1S gene variant in a child with hypokalemic periodic paralysis: a case report and literature reviewGenetic studies of the family. (a) Whole-exome sequencing and confirmation by Sanger sequencing revealed that the proband was heterozygous for c.497 C > A (p.Ala166Asp) in the CACNA1S gene, which was inherited from his father. (b) The A166D variant occurs at a highly conserved position in CACNA1S of different species. (c) The predicted three-dimensional structure of the Cav1.1 protein denotes the effect of protein changes in A166D.Back to article page
