Ventricular fibrillation, paroxysmal familial 2

Alternative name(s) :

Gene_locus : 1

Mutation : 1

OMIM : 126141 , 612956

Comment
( From OMIM)In 3 related families from the Netherlands and an additional 7 of 42 probands with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF2; 612956) from the Netherlands, Alders et al. (2009) identified a C-to-T transition 340 bases upstream from the ATG start site of the DPP6 gene (rs3807218). All 10 probands carried the same haplotype. The mutation was not present in a control group of 350 Dutch individuals of European descent. The mutation is associated with 20-fold increased expression in DPP6 mRNA levels in the myocardium of carriers as compared to controls
