Ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) mutation: a potentially novel neurocardiac calcium channelopathy manifesting as primary generalised epilepsy

Ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) mutation is well-established in the aetiology of an inherited cardiac disorder known as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). The RYR2 receptor is expressed in cardiomyocytes, and also in the hippocampus. The RYR2 mutation has not been reported as a potential cause of adult-onset genetic generalised epilepsy (GGE).
