Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited disorder of ventricular repolarization caused by mutations in cardiac ion channel genes, including KCNQ1. In this study the electrophysiological properties of a LQTS-associated mutation in KCNQ1 (Q357R) were characterized. This mutation is located near the C-terminus of S6, a region that is important for the gate structure. METHODS AND RESULTS: Co-assembly of...
