Abstract excerpt
AIMS: KCNE1 encodes an auxiliary subunit of cardiac potassium channels. Loss-of-function variations in this gene have been associated with the LQT5 form of the long QT syndrome (LQTS), secondary to reduction of I(Ks) current. We present a case in which a D85N rare polymorphism in KCNE1 is associated with an LQT2 phenotype. METHODS AND RESULTS: An 11-year old competitive athlete presented with mild bradycardia and...
