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.

Specifically, we present some of the most critical information emerging from the International Calmodulinopathy Registry, which we established 10 years ago.
