Abstract excerpt
Long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) is associated with KCNH2, which encodes the α subunit of the ion channel that controls the K+ current in the heart. Mutations of KCNH2 cause loss of Kv11.1 channel function by disrupting subunit folding, assembly, or trafficking of the channel to the cell surface. Here we generated two induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from two patients carrying mutation in KCNH2 gene....
