Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Concealed Substrates in Brugada Syndrome: Isolated Channelopathy or Associated Cardiomyopathy?
Simple summary Having a new and more precise definition of BrS, based on its cardiomyopathic component, may be crucial to meliorate the current clinical management of patients, at (i) diagnostic, (ii) prognostic, and (iii) therapeutic levels: (i ...

Identification of Two Rare Variants in Iranian Families With Familial Sudden Cardiac Death. [PDF]
Cellular action potential is characterized by a particular sequence of depolarizing and repolarizing ion currents regulated by ion channels. Genetic mutations in these channels disrupt the essential movement of ions, such as Na+, Ca++, and K+, across the cell membrane, leading to dangerous arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Mechanistic ion channel interactions in red cells of patients with Gárdos channelopathy.
In patients with Gárdos channelopathy (p.R352H), an increased concentration of intracellular Ca2+ was previously reported. This is a surprising finding because the Gárdos channel (KCa3.1) is a K+ channel. Here, we confirm the increased intracellular Ca2+

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) regulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible genes by binding erythropoietin (EPO) enhancer fragments. Of these genes, HIF-1 upregulates voltage-gated K+1.2 channels (Kv1.2) in rat PC12 cells.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome: report of 3 novel mutations and high risk of symptomatic cardiac involvement. [PDF]
IntroductionAndersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a potassium channelopathy affecting cardiac and skeletal muscle. Periodic paralysis is a presenting symptom in some patients, whereas, in others, symptomatic arrhythmias or prolongation of QT in ...
