Modeling of IK1 mutations in human left ventricular myocytes and tissue.

Abstract excerpt

Elucidation of the cellular basis of arrhythmias in ion channelopathy disorders is complicated by the inherent difficulties in studying human cardiac tissue. Thus we used a computer modeling approach to study the mechanisms of cellular dysfunction induced by mutations in inward rectifier potassium channel (K(ir))2.1 that cause Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS). ATS is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with...
