Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the entire coding region of the HERG gene of 39 Finnish LQTS patients revealed eight mutations, six of which are hitherto unreported. All these mutations are located in the evolutionarily conserved regions of HERG, including the transmembrane domains (P451L, Y569H, 1631delAG, G584S, G601S, T613M) and the cytoplasmic N-terminus (453delC, R176W) of the channel. Our present and earlier results suggest...
