Chronic Propafenone Application Increases Functional KIR2.1 Expression In Vitro
Expression and activity of inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels within the heart are strictly regulated. KIR channels have an important role in shaping cardiac action potentials, having a limited conductance at depolarized potentials but ...

Resuscitated sudden cardiac death in Andersen-Tawil syndrome [PDF]
Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS) is an autosomal dominant or sporadic disorder characterized by ventricular arrhythmias, periodic paralysis and distinctive facial and skeletal dysmorphology [1-3]. ATS is notable for its variable penetrance (not all subjects manifest all three phenotypes) and variable expressivity (the severity of the expressed phenotype ...

To evaluate clinical, genetic, and electrophysiologic features of patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) in the United Kingdom.Clinical and neurophysiologic evaluation was conducted of 11 families suspected to have ATS. Molecular genetic analysis of each proband was performed by direct DNA sequencing of the entire coding region of KCNJ2.

Hyperthyroid Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis in a Nepali Male; A Case Report
ABSTRACT Hyperthyroid Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis (HHPP), marked by acute weakness and hypokalemia. Prompt potassium replacement and hyperthyroidism management are essential to prevent life‐threatening outcomes. This case highlights its presentation in a Nepali male, reinforcing the need for high clinical suspicion.

Definitions of the phenotypic manifestations of sickle cell disease. [PDF]
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a pleiotropic genetic disorder of hemoglobin that has profound multiorgan effects. The low prevalence of SCD ( approximately 100,000/US) has limited progress in clinical, basic, and translational research.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome — Periodic paralysis with dysmorphism
Andersen Tawil syndrome is a rare type of channelopathy characterized by the presence of periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmia (prolonged QT interval or ventricular arrhythmia) and distinct dysmorphic abnormalities. It is a type of potassium channelopathy that occurs sporadically or by autosomal dominant inheritance.

Severe exacerbation of Andersen–Tawil syndrome secondary to thyrotoxicosis [PDF]
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare complication of hyperthyroidism characterized by episodes of weakness. Although TPP has been described in patients all over the world, it is especially frequent in Asiatic patients. Recently, two genomewide association studies have found a susceptibility locus on chromosome 17q24.3 near the KCNJ2 gene ...

Abstract As the number of students with autism enrolled in general education increases, there remains a need to support their academic achievement. While much of the existing literature presents the ways that teachers can support the social, emotional or sensory needs of students with autism, research into the academic supports for school‐aged students
