Phenotypic manifestations of mutations in genes encoding subunits of cardiac potassium channels.

Abstract excerpt

Since 1995, when a potassium channel gene, hERG (human ether-à-go-go-related gene), now referred to as KCNH2, encoding the rapid component of cardiac delayed rectifier potassium channels was identified as being responsible for type 2 congenital long-QT syndrome, a number of potassium channel genes have been shown to cause different types of inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes. These include congenital long-QT...
