Purpose

Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome (CRDS) is a newly discovered genetic arrhythmia syndrome that confers a risk of life-threatening arrhythmias secondary to RYR2 loss-of-function. The International CRDS registry has been designed to facilitate large-scale evaluation of CRDS, including its phenotypic spectrum, approaches to risk stratification, and optimal treatment strategies.

Criteria

CRDS Cohort

Inclusion Criterion:

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
CRDS Possesses a rare RYR2 variant characterized to be loss-of-function based on in vitro testing consistent with a CRDS diagnosis
Carrier of an RYR2 truncating variant or large copy number variant Possesses a rare RYR2 truncating variant and/or large copy number variant involving the RYR2 gene.
Carrier of a non-functional RYR2 rare variant Possesses a rare RYR2 variant that is NOT loss-of-function based on in vitro testing and has a clinical phenotype that was considered compatible with CRDS

Detailed Description

Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome (CRDS) is a recently discovered inherited arrhythmia syndrome that predisposes to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The underlying genetic culprit of CRDS is RYR2, which encodes the cardiac ryanodine receptor. In contrast to Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT), which stems from pathogenic RYR2 gain-of-function, CRDS manifests secondary to RyR2 loss-of-function. Enrolment into the CRDS registry requires that the putative disease causing RYR2 variant is confirmed to result in a loss-of-function on in vitro functional analysis. Individuals possessing an RYR2 truncating variant or large copy number variant will be eligible for enrolment into a second registry arm. Patients with a suspected CRDS diagnosis whose RYR2 variant is found not to impact function will be entered into a control arm of the registry. Given its recent discovery, our understanding of CRDS remains in its infancy. The International CRDS registry has been designed to facilitate evaluation of large numbers of CRDS patients and enable robust insights to hopefully improve management of affected patients and families.

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health). The listing of studies provided is not certain to be all studies for which you might be eligible. Furthermore, study eligibility requirements can be difficult to understand and may change over time, so it is wise to speak with your medical care provider and individual research study teams when making decisions related to participation.
