Although the genetic neurologic channelopathies are uncommon, they serve as models that further understanding of disease mechanisms in paroxysmal disorders. Many other neurologic channelopathies likely will be identified in the future.

Purpose Of Review: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a devastating heritable channelopathy that can lead to sudden cardiac death in children and young adults. This review aims to explore genetics, the cardiac and extracardiac manifestations of mutations associated with CPVT, and the challenges involved with managing phenotypically variable variants.
Recent Findings: The understanding of the genetics and mechanisms of CPVT continues to grow with recent discoveries including alternative splicing of cardiac TRDN and calmodulin gene variants.

Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare disorder with prevalence of one in 400,000 live births that's defined by persistent hyperglycaemia within the first six months of life. Neonatal diabetes is heterogeneous and can be transient or permanent. Developmental delay, Epilepsy and Neonatal Diabetes (DEND) syndrome is characterised by developmental delay, epilepsy, and neonatal diabetes.
