Are Choline Transporters Implicated in Some POTS Patients? with Dr. Laila Schenkel

In this episode, Dr. Laila Schenkel discusses her research on choline transporters in patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). As a molecular geneticist, Dr. Schenkel compared the choline transporter function in the skin of a POTS patient with that of healthy controls. Her findings revealed that these transporters were fewer in number and had diminished functionality in the POTS patient. This research provides valuable insights into potential underlying mechanisms of POTS, highlighting the role of choline transporter deficiencies and suggesting a new avenue for understanding the condition better.
