Resuscitated sudden cardiac death in Andersen-Tawil syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yesHeart Rhythm, 2009
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 ...

Andersen–Tawil syndrome

open access: yesNeurology, 2005
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.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome — Periodic paralysis with dysmorphism

open access: yesIndian Pediatrics, 2011
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]

open access: yesJournal of Human Genetics, 2014
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 ...

A Novel KCNJ2 Mutation Identified in an Autistic Proband Affects the Single Channel Properties of Kir2.1

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Inwardly rectifying potassium channels (Kir) have been historically associated to several cardiovascular disorders. In particular, loss-of-function mutations in the Kir2.1 channel have been reported in cases affected by Andersen-Tawil syndrome while gain-

Hypokalemic Paralysis Is Not Always Periodic: A Case Series

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Potassium is vital for cellular function, particularly in excitable tissues like nerves and muscles, which rely on potassium gradients to function normally. Hypokalemia can lead to severe issues such as muscle weakness and irregular heart rhythms. This case series presents four instances of hypokalemic paralysis, a neuromuscular condition that can be ...

Large-scale analyses of common and rare variants identify 12 new loci associated with atrial fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Atrial fibrillation affects more than 33 million people worldwide and increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and death. Fourteen genetic loci have been associated with atrial fibrillation in European and Asian ancestry groups. To further define the

A dangerous food binge: a case report of hypokalemic periodic paralysis and review of current literature

open access: yesItalian Journal of Pediatrics, 2022
Background Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder due to defect of ion channels and subsequent function impairment. It belongs to a periodic paralyses group including hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HEKPP), hypokalemic ...

Three dimensional modelling of mutant Kir2.1 channel PIP2 interactions help stratify arrhythmia severity in Andersen Tawil syndrome type 1

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2022
Andersen-Tawil type 1 (ATS1) is associated with loss-of-function mutations in the inward rectifier potassium channel Kir2.1, which controls cardiac excitability and impulse conduction.
