A mutation in calsequestrin, CASQ2D307H, impairs Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ handling and causes complex ventricular arrhythmias in mice
13 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A naturally-occurring mutation in cardiac calsequestrin (CASQ2) at amino acid 307 was discovered in a highly inbred family and hypothesized to cause Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT). The goal of this study was to establish a causal link between CASQ2(D307H) and the CPVT phenotype using an in vivo model. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cardiac-specific expression of the CASQ2(D307H)...
