Abstract excerpt
The T618I KCNH2-encoded hERG mutation is the most frequently observed mutation in genotyped cases of the congenital short QT syndrome (SQTS), a cardiac condition associated with ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. Most T618I hERG carriers exhibit a pronounced U wave on the electrocardiogram and appear vulnerable to ventricular, but not atrial fibrillation (AF). The basis for these effects is unclear. This...
