Abstract excerpt
The cardiac muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR2) functions as a calcium release channel in the heart. Up to 40 mutations in RyR2 have been linked to genetic forms of sudden cardiac death. These mutations are largely clustered in three regions of the sequence of the polypeptide: one near the N terminus, one in the central region, and the third in the C-terminal region. The central region includes 11 mutations, and an...
