Abstract excerpt
Long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3) has been traced to mutations of the cardiac Na(+) channel (Na(v)1.5) that produce persistent Na(+) currents leading to delayed ventricular repolarization and torsades de pointes. We performed mutational analyses of patients suffering from LQTS and characterized the biophysical properties of the mutations that we uncovered. One LQT3 patient carried a mutation in the SCN5A gene in...
