Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

An age‐associated decline in the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and associated calcium‐handling proteins sets the pace for sinoatrial node function

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stable, responsive pacemaking in the sinoatrial node is driven by the activity of the funny current (membrane clock), interplay of calcium cycling and release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum with depolarising sodium‐calcium exchange current (calcium clock). With increasing age, key proteins associated with calcium cycling are

From Multiple Congenital Anomalies to Pituitary Gland Malformation: Wide Spectrum of Clinical Features in a Family With FOXA2 Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1452-1457, June 2026.
ABSTRACT FOXA2 (hepatocyte nuclear factor‐3β, HNF‐3β) encodes a transcriptional activator involved in early embryogenesis, particularly in the patterning and differentiation of midline structures such as the neural tube, foregut, and pituitary gland. Its role in human pathogenesis was first suspected when patients with deletion of chromosome 20p11.2 ...

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1179-1191, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Resistant to Ablation, Responsive to Hydroquinidine: Precision Medicine Guides Recovery in MEPPC Syndrome Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
We report a case of MEPPC syndrome presenting with severe dilated cardiomyopathy due to a pathogenic SCN5A p.Arg814Trp variant. Genetic diagnosis enabled precision pharmacotherapy with hydroquinidine, which suppressed multifocal Purkinje‐origin ectopy resistant to catheter ablation and led to marked improvement in left ventricular function.

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Power Settings for Electrical Isolation of the Superior Vena Cava Using a Catheter Capable of Local Impedance and Contact Force Monitoring

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
High‐power superior vena cava isolation using a contact force– and local impedance–sensing catheter achieved safe and consistent first‐pass isolation. Local impedance decreased more rapidly than generator impedance, accurately reflecting effective lesion formation and enabling reliable real‐time assessment in thin SVC myocardium.

Brugada Syndrome: New Implications for Heterozygous Carriers of the Pathogenic SCN5A c.689T>C(p.Ile230Thr) Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 5, Page 1083-1086, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in the SCN5A gene and its subunits have been identified in individuals with Brugada Syndrome. One such SCN5A variant, c.689T>C(p.Ile230Thr), was previously reported as disease‐causing only in homozygous individuals, with heterozygous carriers being unaffected.

Multiple Myeloma Presenting as Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant hematologic neoplasm that primarily affects the bone marrow and can invade other organs, leading to diverse clinical manifestations. Presentation with gastrointestinal bleeding as the initial symptom is exceptionally rare.

From Nerves to Vessels: Unmasking Churg‐Strauss Behind Polyneuropathy

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), formerly Churg‐Strauss vasculitis, is a rare systemic autoimmune disease. Neurological involvement is a significant complication. This report details a case of EGPA with severe, progressive polyneuropathy and atypical serological findings, highlighting diagnostic challenges and the ...
