Abstract excerpt
The human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel mediates the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) responsible for shaping the repolarization phase of cardiac action potentials. hERG mutation may cause hERG channel malfunction, leading to long QT syndrome and other arrhythmic disorders. Elucidation of the genotype-phenotype relationships of individual hERG mutations is key to the development of...
