BACKGROUND: Among KCNH2 missense loss of function (LOF) variants, homozygosity -at any position in the Kv11.1/hERG channel - is very rare and generally leads to intrauterine death, while heterozygous variants in the pore are responsible for severe Type 2 long-QT syndrome (LQTS). We report a novel homozygous p.Gly603Ser missense variant in the pore of Kv11.1/hERG (KCNH2 c.1807G > A) discovered in the context of a...
