Mutations in the human cardiac calsequestrin gene (CASQ2) are linked to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT-2). This inherited disorder is characterized by life-threatening arrhythmias induced by physical and emotional stress in young patients. Here we identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation (K206N) in the CASQ2 gene in a symptomatic family in which one member died of cardiac...
