Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure and cardiac transplantation, and pathogenic variants in LMNA are a well-established cause of inherited DCM. The LMNA gene encodes nuclear lamins A/C, which maintain nuclear integrity, regulate gene expression and mediate mechanotransduction. Here, we inve...

The CAV3 p.Ala46Thr mutation is previously associated with skeletal muscle damage only, with its myocardial impact and long‐term cardiac risks unclear. This study is aimed at investigating whether it induces subclinical myocardial damage at the cellular level and explore its mechanism using a patient‐specific iPSC‐CMs...

Long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) results from KCNQ1 mutations that compromise the slow delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs), delaying cardiac repolarization, prolonging the QT interval, and increasing risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. LQT1 proarrhythmic risk is most often triggered by exercise, especially swimmi...

Findings expand the mutational spectrum of SLC4A1-related HS in Indian patients with mild to moderate HS characterized by anemia, jaundice, splenomegaly, reticulocytosis, and reduced EMA fluorescence.

Type 2 long QT syndrome (LQT2) increases the risk of cardiac arrest and sudden death due to reduced rapid delayed rectifier potassium currents (IKr) in the heart. Caused by loss-of-function genetic variants in the hERG K+ channel, LQT2 might benefit from variant-targeted therapy approaches. T1019PfsX38 and Q1070X are L...

Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), the first identified cardiac ion channelopathy, is characterized by delayed ventricular repolarization and a prolonged heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc), conferring an increased risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Current standard-of-care manageme...
