TL;DR: In this article, the authors present three genes, CALM1, CalM2, and CALM3, all of which harbor pathogenic variants linked to long QT syndrome (LQTS) with early and severe expressivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abstract 14699: Spectrum and Prevalence of CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3 Mutations in Long QT Syndrome, Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation, and Sudden Unexplained Death in the Young
TL;DR: Calmodulin-mediated channelopathies potentially account for up to 25% of otherwise genetically elusive and severe LQTS and 10% of genotype-negative SUDY cases under the age of 10 years.
