Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the gene mutation and its possible mechanism in a long QT family. DESIGN: Using DNA samples obtained from the proband and his family members, we sequenced all the exons and flanking intron regions of human ether-go-go gene (HERG) gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. We also investigated the mRNA expression of the HERG gene in mutation carriers. RESULTS: We...
