Variable Penetrance and Expressivity of a Rare Pore Loss-of-Function Mutation (p.L889V) of Nav1.5 Channels in Three Spanish Families.

A novel rare mutation in the pore region of Nav1.5 channels (p.L889V) has been found in three unrelated Spanish families that produces quite diverse phenotypic manifestations (Brugada syndrome, conduction disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, sinus node dysfunction, etc.

A gain-of-function HCN4 mutant in the HCN domain is responsible for inappropriate sinus tachycardia in a Spanish family.

In a family with inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), we identified a mutation (p.V240M) of the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated type 4 (HCN4) channel, which contributes to the pacemaker current (I) in human sinoatrial node cells. Here, we clinically study fifteen family members and functionally analyze the p.

Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin Increase Na and Inward Rectifier K Current Densities in Human Cardiomyocytes Derived from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSC-CMs).

Dapagliflozin (dapa) and empagliflozin (empa) are sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) that reduce morbidity and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients. Sodium and inward rectifier K currents (I and I), carried by Nav1.5 and Kir2.

A Cantú syndrome mutation produces dual effects on KATP channels by disrupting ankyrin B regulation.

ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels composed of Kir6.x and sulfonylurea receptor (SURs) subunits couple cellular metabolism to electrical activity. Cantú syndrome (CS) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the genes encoding Kir6.
