MMRL Scientists Discover New Genes Responsible for
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Scientists at the Masonic Medical Research Laboratory (MMRL) in Utica, NY have
uncovered a new genetic basis for abnormal rhythms of the heart responsible for
sudden cardiac arrest.
The landmark discovery is reported in the current issue of Circulation, the leading
Cardiology journal published by the American Heart Association (AHA). Dr. Charles
Antzelevitch and a team of investigators and collaborators from Canada, Germany,
France and Italy describe a new clinical entity characterized by distinctive changes in
the electrocardiogram (ECG) in three families with a history of sudden cardiac death.
Affected family members were all found to have mutations in the genes that encode
the cardiac calcium channels. These channels permit the flow of calcium ion in and
out of cells in the heart. The defective genes called CACNA1C and CACNB2b were
found to generate a smaller than normal electrical current and thus to be responsible
for creating an electrical imbalance that results in potentially fatal abnormal heart
rhythms, known as cardiac arrhythmias...
