Abstract

Cardiac ryanodine receptor (RYR2) and Kir2.1 (KCNJ2) mutations are a cause of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), a lethal cardiac channelopathy. Here, we describe mutations in RYR2 and KCNJ2 in patients referred for FAMILION CPVT genetic testing. Sequence analysis of 38
