Abstract excerpt
KCNQ1 is a gene encoding an alpha subunit of voltage-gated cardiac K(+) channels, with properties similar to the slowly activating delayed rectifier K(+) current, and one of the genes causing long QT syndrome (LQTS). However, genotype-phenotype correlations of the KCNQ1 gene mutations are not fully understood. The aims of this study were to identify a mutation in the KCNQ1 gene in patients with LQTS, and to...
