<jats:p> <jats:bold> <jats:italic>Background—</jats:italic> </jats:bold> Four distinct mutations in the human cardiac calsequestrin gene ( <jats:italic>CASQ2</jats:italic> ) have been linked to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). The mechanisms leading to the clinical phenotype are still poorly understood because only 1 <jats:italic>CASQ2</jats:italic> mutation has been characterized in vitro. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold> <jats:italic>Methods and Results—</jats:italic> </jats:bold> We identified a homozygous 16-bp deletion at position 339 to 354 leading to a frame shift and a stop codon after 5aa (CASQ2 <jats:sup>G112+5X</jats:sup> ) in a child with stress-induced ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest. The same deletion was also identified in association with a novel point mutation (CASQ2 <jats:sup>L167H</jats:sup> ) in a highly symptomatic CPVT child who is the first CPVT patient carrier of compound heterozygous <jats:italic>CASQ2</jats:italic> mutations. We characterized in vitro the properties of <jats:italic>CASQ2</jats:italic> mutants: CASQ2 <jats:sup>G112+5X</jats:sup> did not bind Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> , whereas CASQ2 <jats:sup>L167H</jats:sup> had normal calcium-binding properties. When expressed in rat myocytes, both mutants decreased the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> -storing capacity and reduced the amplitude of <jats:italic>I</jats:italic> <jats:sub>Ca</jats:sub> -induced Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> transients and of spontaneous Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> sparks in permeabilized myocytes. Exposure of myocytes to isoproterenol caused the development of delayed afterdepolarizations in CASQ2 <jats:sup>G112+5X</jats:sup> . </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold> <jats:italic>Conclusions—</jats:italic> </jats:bold> CASQ2 <jats:sup>L167H</jats:sup> and CASQ2 <jats:sup>G112+5X</jats:sup> alter CASQ2 function in cardiac myocytes, which leads to reduction of active sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> release and calcium content. In addition, CASQ2 <jats:sup>G112+5X</jats:sup> displays altered calcium-binding properties and leads to delayed afterdepolarizations. We conclude that the 2 <jats:italic>CASQ2</jats:italic> mutations identified in CPVT create distinct abnormalities that lead to abnormal intracellular calcium regulation, thus facilitating the development of tachyarrhythmias. </jats:p>
