      Citation Excerpt :

      For example, analysis of loss-of-function Piezo1 mice has demonstrated a critical role of this ion channel in cardiovascular function (Retailleau et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2016; Rode et al., 2017). Therefore, it will be of interest to assess the role of overactive PIEZO1 channel in hypertension, which has high incidence in African Americans (Kaplan, 1994). We expect that a complete clinical characterization of individuals with the E756del allele will shed further light on the range of phenotypes that are associated with PIEZO1, including anemia, splenomegaly, autoimmune diseases, various aspects of cardiovascular function, as well as in indications not previously associated with PIEZO1.
