Abstract excerpt
Mutations in KCNQ1, the gene encoding the delayed rectifier K(+) channel in cardiac muscle, cause long QT syndrome (LQTS). We studied 3 families with LQTS, in whom a guanine to adenine change in the last base of exon 7 (c.1032G>A), previously reported as a common splice-site mutation, was identified. We performed quantitative measurements of exon-skipping KCNQ1 mRNAs caused by this mutation using real-time...
