Its unique importance is highlighted by the presence of 3 genes in 3 different chromosomes encoding for the same protein and by their extreme conservation. Indeed, all 3 calmodulin (<i>CALM</i>) genes are among the most constrained genes in the human genome, that is, the observed variants are much less than expected by chance. Not surprisingly, <i>CALM</i> variants are poorly tolerated and accompany significant clinical phenotypes, of which the most important are those associated with increased risk for life-threatening arrhythmias. Here, we review the current knowledge about calmodulin, its specific physiological, structural, and functional characteristics, and its importance for cardiovascular disease. Given our role in the development of this knowledge, we also share some of our views about currently unanswered questions, including the rational approaches to the clinical management of the affected patients. Specifically, we present some of the most critical information emerging from the International Calmodulinopathy Registry, which we established 10 years ago. Further progress clearly requires deep phenotypic information on as many carriers as possible through international contributions to the registry, in order to expand our knowledge about Calmodulinopathies and guide clinical management.</p>","PeriodicalId":10326,"journal":{"name":"Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142153270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
