Abstract excerpt
Mutations in transmembrane domains of the KCNQ1 subunit of the I(Ks) potassium channel have been associated with familial atrial fibrillation. We have investigated mechanisms by which the S1 domain S140G KCNQ1 mutation influences atrial arrhythmia risk and, additionally, whether it can affect ventricular electrophysiology. In perforated-patch recordings, S140G-KCNQ1+KCNE1 exhibited leftward-shifted activation,...
