Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Type-1 long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the KCNQ1-encoded I(Ks) cardiac potassium channel. We evaluated the effect of location, coding type, and biophysical function of KCNQ1 mutations on the clinical phenotype of this disorder. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated the clinical course in 600 patients with 77 different KCNQ1 mutations in 101 proband-identified families...
