Ataxia, arrhythmia and ion-channel gene defects

Trends in Genetics : TIG
J L Doyle, L Stubbs

Abstract

Ion channels are essential to a wide range of physiological functions including neuronal signaling, muscle contraction, cardiac pacemaking, hormone secretion and cell proliferation. The important role that highly regulated ion influx plays in these processes has been underscored by a recent flurry of discoveries linking ion-channel gene mutations to inherited disorders. Ion channels of many different types have been demonstrated as being causative factors in genetic disease. This review discusses the growing number of disorders associated with genes of the voltage-gated ion channel superfamily, with special focus on those characterized by neurological, neuromuscular, or cardiac dysfunction in humans and mice.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
