Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Missense mutations in KCNH2, a gene encoding the Kv11.1 channel, cause long QT syndrome (LQTS) type 2 primarily by disrupting the intracellular transport of Kv11.1 to the plasma membrane. The present study aimed to clarify the functional changes by two novel KCNH2 missense mutations. METHODS: We performed genetic screening of three unrelated symptomatic LQTS probands with family histories of cardiac...
