General anesthesia using propofol infusion for implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in a pediatric patient with Andersen-Tawil syndrome: a case report. [PDF]
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by a triad of episodic flaccid muscle weakness, ventricular arrhythmias, and physical anomalies. ATS patients have various cardiac arrhythmias that can cause sudden death. Implantation

Kir2.1 dysfunction at the sarcolemma and the sarcoplasmic reticulum causes arrhythmias in a mouse model of Andersen-Tawil syndrome type 1. [PDF]
Andersen–Tawil syndrome type 1 (ATS1) is associated with life-threatening arrhythmias of unknown mechanism. In this study, we generated and characterized a mouse model of ATS1 carrying the trafficking-deficient mutant Kir2.1Δ314-315 channel.

Characterization of a novel KCNJ2 sequence variant detected in Andersen-Tawil syndrome patients [PDF]
Background Mutations in the KCNJ2 gene encoding the ion channel Kir2.1 have been linked to the Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS). Molecular genetic screening performed in a family exhibiting clinical ATS phenotypes unmasked a novel sequence variant (c.434A >
