Abstract
TECRL is the causative gene of an autosomal-recessive form of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), the so-called type 3 CPVT. However, only 17 families have been reported worldwide and no case of symptomatic heterozygous carriers has been described. We report herein genotypes and clinical phenotypes of a family of European ancestry harboring a new TECRL pathogenic variant and, for the first time, a CPVT-like phenotype in a TECRL heterozygous variant carrier. Due to this novel evidence, clinicians should be aware that TECRL heterozygous variant carriers should undergo cardiac assessment and therapy introduction in case of a CPVT clinical diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology is one of a family of specialist journals launched by the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It encompasses all aspects of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Submissions of original research and state-of-the-art reviews from cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, neurology, outcomes research, and related fields are encouraged. Experimental and preclinical work that directly relates to diagnostic or therapeutic interventions are also encouraged. In general, case reports will not be considered for publication.
