Abstract excerpt
Calsequestrin Type 2 (CASQ2) is a high-capacity, low-affinity, Ca2+-binding protein expressed in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of the cardiac myocyte. Mutations in CASQ2 have been linked to the arrhythmia catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT2) that occurs with acute emotional stress or exercise can result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). CASQ2G112+5X is a 16 bp (339-354) deletion CASQ2...
