description In the two decades since the discovery of TNNI3K it has been implicated in multiple cardiac phenotypes and physiological processes. TNNI3K is an understudied kinase, which is mainly expressed in the heart. Human genetic variants in <i>TNNI3K</i> are associated with supraventricular arrhythmias, conduction disease, and cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, studies in mice implicate the gene in cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac regeneration, and recovery after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Several new papers on TNNI3K have been published since the last overview, broadening the clinical perspective of <i>TNNI3K</i> variants and our understanding of the underlying molecular biology. We here provide an overview of the role of TNNI3K in cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia covering both a clinical perspective and basic science advancements. In addition, we review the potential of TNNI3K as a target for clinical treatments in different cardiac diseases.
