Acquired Piezo2 Channelopathy is One Principal Gateway to Pathophysiology
The Piezo2 transmembrane proteins were identified by Ardem Patapoutian and his team. They also found that Piezo2 is the principal mechanosensory ion channel responsible for proprioception.

Gardos channelopathy: functional analysis of a novel KCNN4 variant [PDF]
We show that the novel KCNN4 variant p.S314P is a gain-of-function mutation but is less severe than the previously reported p.R352H variant. The clinical heterogeneity, blurred symptoms, and absence of specific diagnostic markers make the diagnosis of ...

Concealed Substrates in Brugada Syndrome: Isolated Channelopathy or Associated Cardiomyopathy?
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited autosomal dominant genetic disorder responsible for sudden cardiac death from malignant ventricular arrhythmia. The term “channelopathy” is nowadays used to classify BrS as a purely electrical disease ...

Mechanistic ion channel interactions in red cells of patients with Gărdos channelopathy [PDF]
In patients with Gárdos channelopathy (p.R352H), an increased concentration of intracellular Ca21 was previously reported. This is a surprising finding because the Gárdos channel (KCa3.1) is a K1 channel.
