Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: KCNJ2 encodes Kir2.1, a pore-forming subunit of the cardiac inward rectifier current, I(K1). KCNJ2 mutations are associated with Andersen-Tawil syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. The aim of this study was to characterize the biophysical and cellular phenotype of a KCNJ2 missense mutation, V227F, found in a patient with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular...
