Popis: 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). This missense mutation was previously discovered in a TTS patient and further described in a family with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT). The established cell line is used to investigate the main mechanisms leading to TTS and CPVT using a patient-specific stem cell approach.
