The PRKAG2 gene encodes the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) gamma 2 regulatory subunit. AMPK has a central role in cellular energy homeostasis. Pathogenic variation in PRKAG2 causes an autosomal dominant syndrome comprising ventricular hypertrophy, supraventricular arrhythmias, electrocardiographic pre-excitation and conduction system abnormalities.– The genetic background of this syndromic presentation was discovered in 2001.. Histologically there is myocyte glycogen accumulation, and the typical pattern of hypertrophy is usually described as biventricular and concentric, similar to other metabolic phenocopies of hypertrophic […]
