Abstract

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an uncommon heritable disease presenting with syncope or sudden cardiac death. Two genes involved in calcium homeostasis, the ryanodine receptor gene and the calsequestrin 2 (CASQ2) gene, have been implicated in this disease. We describe a young man presenting with exercise-induced syncope, clinically diagnosed as CPVT. Genetic analysis revealed two mutations, p.Y55C (C.164A>G) and p.P308L (c.923C>T), in the CASQ2 gene. Subsequent familial analysis indicates a compound heterozygous form of inheritance. (PACE 2008; 31:916-919). © 2008, The Authors. Journal compilation © 2008, Blackwell Publishing, Inc.
