Abstract excerpt
Arrhythmogenic cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) mutations are associated with stress-induced malignant tachycardia, frequently leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD). The causative mechanisms of RyR2 Ca2+ release dysregulation are complex and remain controversial. We investigated the functional impact of clinically-severe RyR2 mutations occurring in the central domain, and the C-terminal I domain, a key locus of...
