Abstract excerpt
AIMS: KCNQ1 and KCNE1 encode Kv7.1 and KCNE1, respectively, the pore-forming and the accessory subunits of the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, IKs. KCNQ1 mutations are associated with long and short QT syndrome. The aim of this study was to characterize the biophysical and cellular phenotype of a KCNQ1 missense mutation, F279I, found in a 23-year-old man with a corrected QT interval (QTc) of 356 ms and...
