A Novel Mutation (T65P) in the PAS Domain of the Human Potassium Channel HERG Results in the Long QT Syndrome by Trafficking Deficiency
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The congenital long QT syndrome is a cardiac disease characterized by an increased susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias. The clinical hallmark is a prolongation of the QT interval, which reflects a delay in repolarization caused by mutations in cardiac ion channel genes. Mutations in the HERG (human ether-à-go-go-related gene KCNH2 can cause a reduction in I(Kr), one of the currents responsible for cardiac...
