Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sinus node (SN) dysfunction is observed in some long-QT syndrome (LQTS) patients, but has not been studied as a function of LQTS genotype. LQTS6 involves mutations in the hERG β-subunit MiRP1, which also interacts with hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide gated (HCN) channels-the molecular correlate of SN pacemaker current (If ). An LQTS registry search identified a 55-year male with M54T...
