Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is caused by mutations in KCNJ2 (Kir2.1). It remains unclear whether dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a primary feature of ATS. We studied a proband with typical physical features of ATS plus DCM and moderate to severe left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction = 30.5%). Genetic screening revealed a novel mutation in Kir2.1 (c.665T>C, p.L222S). Functional studies...
