Abstract excerpt
The long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac disorder caused by a prolonged ventricular repolarization. The co-assembly of the pore-forming human KCNQ1 alpha-subunits with the modulating hKCNE1 beta-subunits generates I(Ks)in vivo, explaining why mutations in the hKCNQ1 gene underlie the LQT1 form of congenital LQT. Here we describe the functional defects of the LQT1 mutation H258R located in the S4-S5 linker, a...
