Clinical and Functional Characterization of Ryanodine Receptor 2 Variants Implicated in Calcium-Release Deficiency Syndrome

Abstract

The results of this study suggest that calcium-release deficiency syndrome due to RyR2 loss-of-function variants mechanistically and phenotypically differs from CPVT. Ventricular fibrillation may be precipitated by a spontaneous LBLPS-like sequence of ectopy; however, CRDS remains difficult to recognize clinically. These data highlight the need for better diagnostic tools and treatments for this emerging condition.
