A missense mutation in CASQ2 is associated with autosomal recessive catecholamine‐induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in Bedouin families from Israel

Abstract excerpt

Catecholamine-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is characterized by episodes of syncope, seizures or sudden death, in response to physical activity or emotional stress, and affects mainly young children with morphologically normal hearts. We have recently described an autosomal recessive form of the disorder in seven families from a Bedouin tribe in the north of Israel, and mapped the...
