Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gain-of-function mutations in CACNA1C encoding Cav1.2 cause syndromic or non-syndromic type-8 long QT syndrome (LQTS) (sLQT8 or nsLQT8). The cytoplasmic domain (D)Ⅰ-Ⅱ linker in Cav1.2 plays a pivotal role in calcium channel inactivation, and mutations in this site have been associated with sLQT8 (such as Timothy syndrome) but not nsLQT8. OBJECTIVE: Since we identified a novel CACNA1C mutation, located...
