Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) are responsible for congenital Type 2 long QT syndrome (LQT2). Previously, we reported a truncated mutation of hERG in a Chinese family with LQT2, namely L539 fs/47, which is composed of a 19 bp deletion mutation and an A1692G polymorphism. This mutation was found to cause an LQT2 phenotype. The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional...
