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...
