Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies a Heterozygous Variant in the Cav1.3 Gene CACNA1D Associated with Familial Sinus Node Dysfunction and Focal Idiopathic Epilepsy
17 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Cav1.3 voltage-gated L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) are involved in cardiac pacemaking, hearing and hormone secretion, but are also expressed postsynaptically in neurons. So far, homozygous loss of function mutations in CACNA1D encoding the Cav1.3 α1-subunit are described in congenital sinus node dysfunction and deafness. In addition, germline mutations in CACNA1D have been linked to neurodevelopmental syndromes...
