Muscle channelopathies: A review

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 273-288, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Muscle channelopathies are a rare and heterogeneous group of disorders that can be clinically challenging and functionally disabling. These disorders can present in both adult and pediatric age groups. These disorders have been known since the turn of the 20th century, with a steady evolution in terms of understanding the ...

Muscle MRI in periodic paralysis shows myopathy is common and correlates with intramuscular fat accumulation

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 439-450, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction/Aims The periodic paralyses are muscle channelopathies: hypokalemic periodic paralysis (CACNA1S and SCN4A variants), hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (SCN4A variants), and Andersen‐Tawil syndrome (KCNJ2). Both episodic weakness and disabling fixed weakness can occur.

Markedly reduced ventricular arrhythmia during the peripartum period in a pregnant woman with Andersen-Tawil syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, 2012
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS), also known as long QT syndrome type 7, is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by a KCNJ2 mutation. The characteristic triad of ATS is periodic paralysis, dysmorphic features, and ventricular arrhythmia.

Management and Treatment of Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS) [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics, 2007
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and distinct facial and skeletal features. The majority of patients with ATS (ATS1) have point mutations in the KCNJ2 gene, which encodes the inward-rectifying potassium channel known as Kir2.1.

Transvenous ICD Implantation into a Coronary Sinus Branch: A Safe and Feasible Alternative to Deliver ICD after Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Significant lead‐induced tricuspid regurgitation after cardiovascular implantable electronic devices is not uncommon. Absolute or relative contraindications to place the lead in the right ventricle after tricuspid valve (TV) surgery still remains a challenge.

Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel Kir2.1 and its “Kir-ious” Regulation by Protein Trafficking and Roles in Development and Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Potassium (K+) homeostasis is tightly regulated for optimal cell and organismal health. Failure to control potassium balance results in disease, including cardiac arrythmias and developmental disorders.

Child Neurology: Andersen-Tawil syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesNeurology, 2020
Two images of patients in the article “Child Neurology: Andersen-Tawil syndrome” by Almuqbil and Srour,1 published online March 16, 2015, have been removed because the patients requested that their consent for publication be withdrawn. The removal of the images does not invalidate the paper because an extensive verbal description of the patients was ...

Case report: SCN4A p.R1135H gene variant in combination with thyrotoxicosis causing hypokalemic periodic paralysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by intermittent episodes of delayed paralysis of skeletal muscle with episodes of hypokalemia, caused by variants in CACNA1S or SCN4A genes, or secondary to ...

Sudden cardiac death in Andersen–Tawil syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesEP Europace, 2007
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is an autosomal dominant or sporadic disorder characterized by periodic paralysis, dysmorphic features, and ventricular arrhythmias. Although ventricular tachycardia burden is quite high sudden cardiac death in ATS is rare.
