Deskripsi
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is an exercise and emotional stress-induced life-threatening inherited heart rhythm disorder, characterized by an abnormal cellular calcium homeostasis. Most reported cases have been linked to mutations in the gene encoding the type 2 ryanodine receptor gene, RYR2. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from three CPVT-affected patients, two of them carrying p.R4959Q mutation and one carrying p.Y2476D mutation. These generated hiPSC lines are a useful model to study pathophysiological consequences of RYR2 dysfunction in humans and the molecular basis of CPVT.
