Abstract excerpt
KCNH2 loss-of-function mutations cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2), an inherited cardiac disorder associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia. Through whole-exome sequencing, we discovered a novel AGCGACAC deletion (S981fs) in the hERG gene of an LQT2 patient. Using a heterologous expression system and patch clamping, we found that the mutant K channel had reduced cell surface expression and lower...
