Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous missense variants of the cardiac ryanodine receptor gene (RYR2) cause catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). These missense variants of RYR2 result in a gain of function of the ryanodine receptors, characterized by increased sensitivity to activation by calcium that results in an increased propensity to develop calcium waves and delayed afterdepolarizations. We have recently...
