Background: Human loss-of-function variants of ANK2 (ankyrin-B) are linked to arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. However, their in vivo effects and specific arrhythmogenic pathways have not been fully elucidated. Methods: We identified new ANK2 variants in 25 unrelated Han Chinese probands with ventricular tachycardia by whole-exome sequencing. The potential pathogenic variants were validated by Sanger sequencing. We performed functional and mechanistic experiments in ankyrin-B knockin (KI) mouse models and in single myocytes isolated from KI hearts. Results: We detected a rare, heterozygous ANK2 variant (p.Q1283H) in a proband with recurrent ventricular tachycardia. This variant was localized to the ZU5 C region of ANK2 , where no variants have been previously reported. KI mice harboring the p.Q1283H variant exhibited an increased predisposition to ventricular arrhythmias after catecholaminergic stress in the absence of cardiac structural abnormalities. Functional studies illustrated an increased frequency of delayed afterdepolarizations and Ca 2+ waves and sparks accompanied by decreased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ content in KI cardiomyocytes on isoproterenol stimulation. The immunoblotting results showed increased levels of phosphorylated ryanodine receptor Ser2814 in the KI hearts, which was further amplified on isoproterenol stimulation. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated dissociation of protein phosphatase 2A from ryanodine receptor in the KI hearts, wh...
