We are looking for families & individuals with confirmed CACNA1E gene changes to join the #cacna1e community.
Pls contact us or https://t.co/aLm8w9beOZ if this is you.

Nice Review on the role of #ionchannels in painful neuropathies ➡️ https://t.co/OJ10n5VsPv

[Becky Pender @HannahMeIDD8P]

Colin done the most amazing job of capturing Hannah. Thank you @BeyondtheDx Along with the rare genetic conditions #InvDupDel8p and #SCN1B, Hannah also lives with a rare epilepsy #LennoxGastautSyndrome. Today is #LGS Awareness day.

I’m very honored to receive the Heribert Konzett Award by the Austrian Pharmacological Society (APHAR). Thanks to my mentor Jörg Striessnig, all collaborators and friends that contribute to my research and make work so enjoyable! 🤩 @CavX_PhD #APHAR2023 #CalciumChannels #CACNA1D

[Norbert Weiss @TheWeissLab]

Very interesting study showing that Zinc deficiency may release Zn-dependent block of Cav3.2 #calcium #ionchannels thus leading to nociceptive hypersensitivity! https://t.co/JNbJPOCyuH

[Nadine Ortner @OrtnerNadine]

So excited to finally share our work on one of the two first construct-valid mouse models of gating-modifying CACNA1D (Cav1.3) variants implicated in neurodevelopmental and endocrine dysfunction in @JCI_insight. https://t.co/SGXpLAj58d

[TheVGCCC @TheVGCCC]

It's wonderful to have you on the #team @OrtnerNadine and a super productive meeting 🙌

[Nadine Ortner @OrtnerNadine]

What a week! Returning to work after one year of maternity leave and the most awesome colleagues make it feel like coming home @CavX_PhD. I also got the chance to meet the great and inspiring community of @TheVGCCC! Plus lots of fruitful discussions and great new ideas #Science

[TheVGCCC @TheVGCCC]

Our team has grown and we now include #CACNA1G.
We really are #StrongerTogether 💪

What an EpIC group of people - learn more about ion channels

[Nadine Ortner @OrtnerNadine]

Check out this great and comprehensive review on genetic variants of voltage-gated calcium channels implicated in human diseases! #channelopathy #Cavs #CalciumChannels #Genetics

[jECS @EuroCalcium]

Calling junior #Calcium researchers 📣: Submit your abstract for the online #Calciumsignaling symposium before March 31th. This is a great chance to present your work in an international setting 🎈

[TheVGCCC @TheVGCCC]

More overlap between our genes!
"Using genome sequencing methods, we implicated two genes, #CACNA1H and #CACNA1I, which are #ionchannel genes involved in controlling #calcium levels in the brain and potentially affecting neurotransmitter release.” #VGCC

Again, no cell could exist without ion channels. There's also a great interview with @tsa_charity's fearless leader and a mention of our calcium ion channel consortium @TheVGCCC!

[Ion Man @_IonMan]

Great to see #calcium #raredisease communities joining forces as the Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel Collective @TheVGCCC

#strongertogether #rareasone

[Ion Channel Library @ionchannellib]

Did you know that different CACNA1X communities, foundations, and alliances decided to unite their efforts and create The Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel Collective (VGCCC)?
If interested, read the interview below.
