Abstract excerpt
Forward genetic studies have identified several chloride (Cl-) channel genes, including CFTR, ClC-2, ClC-3, CLCA, Bestrophin, and Ano1, in the heart. Recent reverse genetic studies using gene targeting and transgenic techniques to delineate the functional role of cardiac Cl- channels have shown that Cl- channels may contribute to cardiac arrhythmogenesis, myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure, and...
