Gender Differences in the Inheritance Mode of RYR2 Mutations in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Patients.

Abstract excerpt

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is one of the causes of sudden cardiac death in young people and results from RYR2 mutations in ~60% of CPVT patients. The inheritance of the RYR2 mutations follows an autosomal dominant trait, however, de novo mutations are often identified during familial analysis. In 36 symptomatic CPVT probands with RYR2 mutations, we genotyped their parents and...
