Abstract excerpt
KCNE1 encodes a modulator of KCNQ1 and KCNH2 channels. Although KCNE1(G38S), a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) causing a G38S substitution in KCNE1, is found frequently, whether and how this SNP causes long QT syndrome (LQTS) remains unclear. We evaluated rate-dependent repolarization dynamics using Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess the pathogenicity of KCNE1(G38S). Forty-five patients exhibiting long...
