Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the cardiac potassium ion channel gene KCNQ1 (voltage-gated K(+) channel subtype KvLQT1) cause LQT1, the most common type of hereditary long Q-T syndrome. KvLQT1 mutations prolong Q-T by reducing the repolarizing cardiac current [slow delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(Ks) )], but, fo...
