Andersen–Tawil syndrome: Clinical and molecular aspects

International Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Andersen–Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare hereditary multisystem disorder. Ventricular arrhythmias, periodic paralysis and dysmorphic features constitute the classic triad of ATS symptoms. The expressivity of these symptoms is, however, extremely variable, even within single ATS affected families, and not all ATS patients present with the full triad of ...

Therapeutic management of ventricular arrhythmias in Andersen-Tawil syndrome

Journal of Electrocardiology, 2020
Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS) is a rare periodic paralysis with typical skeletal and neuromuscular features. Cardiac involvement may range from asymptomatic ventricular arrhythmias to sudden death. Its management remains challenging and the choice between antiarrhythmic drug therapy and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is not simple.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome

International Journal of Cardiology, 2011
Advances in the understanding of genetic aspects of cardiovascular diseases, together with an increase in the availability of genetic analysis, have resulted in not only increased diagnosis of known inherited conditions, but also the identification of novel syndromes.

Andersen–Tawil Syndrome With Early Fixed Myopathy

Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease, 2014
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare autosomal dominant potassium channelopathy characterized by a triad of periodic paralysis, ventricular arrhythmias, and distinctive dysmorphic abnormalities. We present a 19-year-old man with characteristic skeletal dysmorphic features of ATS, early nonfluctuating proximal lower limb weakness from childhood, and ...

Kir 2.1 channelopathies: the Andersen–Tawil syndrome

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2010
As a multisystem disorder, Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is rather unique in the family of channelopathies. The full spectrum of the disease is characterized by ventricular arrhythmias, dysmorphic features, and periodic paralysis. Most ATS patients have a mutation in the ion channel gene, KCNJ2, which encodes the inward rectifier K+ channel Kir2.1, a ...

Andersen-Tawil syndrome

Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is one of the periodic paralyses, a set of skeletal muscle disorders that cause transient weakness of the arms and legs lasting minutes to many hours. Distinguishing features of ATS include facial and limb dysmorphisms, cardiac arrhythmia, difficulties with executive function, and association with dominant mutations in the

Andersen-Tawil and Timothy Syndromes

2013
This chapter summarizes two relatively new ion channelopathies, Andersen-Tawil and Timothy syndromes. Both disorders are pleiotropic in nature, with multiple clinical manifestations outside the cardiovascular system. While both Andersen-Tawil and Timothy syndromes are disorders of ventricular repolarization, their unique clinical phenotype ...

Clinical and neurophysiological variability in Andersen‐Tawil syndrome

Muscle & Nerve, 2019
AbstractIntroductionAndersen‐Tawil syndrome (ATS) is characterized by a triad of periodic paralysis, ventricular arrhythmias, and dysmorphism. However, patients often lack one or more of these features.MethodsClinical and neurophysiological features were reviewed of five members in two families with heterozygous mutations in KCNJ2 (R218Q and R67W ...
