Shorten the diagnostic journey Strongbridge Biopharma® has partnered with Invitae to offer a no-cost Periodic Paralysis gene panel test for those who have episodic muscle weakness or temporary paralysis provoked by common triggers for primary hyperkalemic or hypokalemic periodic paralysis.   Learn how genetic testing can shorten the diagnostic journey → The Invitae Periodic Paralysis Panel includes analysis for both hyperkalemic and hypokalemic periodic paralysis, and includes analysis of the three most common associated genes: SCN4A, CACNA1S, and KCNJ2.
