Objective: To identify mutations and variants in CASQ2 gene in 27 CPVT patients/family members.
Methods: Mutational analysis was performed with direct DNA sequence analysis. The frequency of an identified CASQ2 variant was determined using the Taqman genotyping assay.
Results: A novel heterozygous mutation, F189L, in CASQ2 gene was identified in one family with CPVT. This mutation occurred at the evolutionarily, highly conserved phenylalanine residue at codon 189, and was not present in 1400 control individuals. No other disease-causing mutations were identified in the CASQ2 gene.
Conclusion: A novel mutation of F189L in the CASQ2 gene was identified.

Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) is a potentially life-threatening disease characterized by a transient left ventricular apical akinesia in response to β-adrenergic overstimulation. Since a genetic predisposition is assumed, we generated an iPSC-line carrying a p.F189L mutation in the calcium buffering protein Calsequestrin 2 (CasQ2).

Rationale: The plateau phase of the ventricular action potential is the result of balanced Ca(2+) influx and K(+) efflux. The action potential is terminated by repolarizing K(+) currents. Under β-adrenergic stimulation, both the Ca(2+)-influx and the delayed rectifier K(+) currents I(K) are stimulated to adjust the cardiac action potential duration to the enhanced heart rate and to ascertain adequate increase in net Ca(2+) influx.

Many proteins that contain a carboxyl-terminal CaaX sequence motif, including Ras and yeast a-factor, undergo a series of sequential posttranslational processing steps. Following the initial prenylation of the cysteine, the three C-terminal amino acids are proteolytically removed, and the newly formed prenylcysteine is carboxymethylated. The specific amino acids that comprise the CaaX sequence influence whether the protein can be prenylated and proteolyzed.
