Calmodulin (CaM) mutations are associated with severe forms of long QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). We recently reported that CaM mutations were found in 13% of genotype-negative LQTS patients, but the prevalence of CaM mutations in genotype-negative CPVT patients is unknown. Here, we identify and characterize CaM mutations in 12 patients with genotype-negative but clinically-diagnosed CPVT. Mutational analysis of CALM1, CALM2 and CALM3 coding regions, in vitro measurement of CaM-Ca2+ (Ca) binding affinity, RyR2-CaM binding, Ca handling, L-type Ca current (LTCC) and action potential duration (APD). We identified a novel CaM mutation – A103V – in CALM3 in 1 of 12 patients (8%), a female who experienced episodes of exertion-induced syncope since age 10, had normal QT interval, and displayed ventricular ectopy during stress testing consistent with CPVT. A103V modestly lowered CaM Ca-binding affinity (3-fold reduction vs WT-CaM), but did not alter CaM binding to RyR2. In permeabilized cardiomyocytes, A103V-CaM (100 nM) promoted spontaneous Ca wave and spark activity, a cellular phenotype of RyR2 activation. Even a 1:3 mixture of A103V-CaM:WT-CaM activated Ca waves, demonstrating functional dominance. Compared to LQTS D96V-CaM, A103V-CaM had significantly less effects on LTCC inactivation and APD, and caused delayed after depolarizations (DADs) and triggered beats in intact cardiomyocytes. We discovered a novel CPVT mutation in the CALM3 gene that shares functional characteristics with established CPVT-associated mutations in CALM1. A small proportion of A103V-CaM is sufficient to evoke arrhythmogenic Ca disturbances via RyR2 dysregulation, which explains the autosomal dominant inheritance.
