New global registry aims to unlock secrets of rare heart rhythm disorder
NCT ID NCT06508164
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study is creating a worldwide registry for people with Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome (CRDS), a rare genetic heart condition that can cause dangerous heart rhythms. Researchers will collect health information from 500 participants to better understand the condition's symptoms, risks, and best treatments. The goal is to improve care for people with CRDS by learning from real-world data.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors identify who is at highest risk of dangerous heart rhythms and guide better treatment decisions for people with CRDS.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. The condition is newly discovered, so knowledge is still very limited.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The registry will enrol 3 separate cohorts. The primary cohort consists of CRDS cases. A CRDS case is defined as an individual that possesses a rare RYR2 variant proven to be loss-of-function on in vitro analysis. A second cohort consists of individuals that possess a rare RYR2 truncating variant or large copy number variant. The third cohort involves individuals suspected of having CRDS, however in vitro analysis revealed that their rare RYR2 variant did not impact function.
