Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: KCNE1 encodes a 129-residue cardiac potassium channel (IKs) subunit. KCNE1 variants are associated with long QT syndrome and atrial fibrillation. However, most variants have insufficient evidence of clinical consequences and thus limited clinical utility. METHODS: In this study, we leveraged the power of variant effect mapping, which couples saturation mutagenesis with high-throughput sequencing, to...
