Abstract excerpt
Long QT syndrome (LQT) is a genetically heterogeneous inherited disorder that causes sudden death from cardiac arrhythmia. Four loci have been mapped to chromosomes 3, 4, 7 and 11 and three specific mutated genes for LQT syndrome have been identified. LQT2 results from mutations in the human ether-a-gogo-related gene, HERG, a cardiac potassium channel, whose protein product likely underlies Ikd the rapidly...
