Dominant-Negative <i>KvLQT1</i> Mutations Underlie the LQT1 Form of Long QT Syndrome
16 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations that map to the KvLQT1 gene on human chromosome 11 account for more than 50% of inherited long QT syndrome (LQTS). It has been discovered recently that the KvLQT1 and minK proteins functionally interact to generate a current with biophysical properties similar to I(Ks), the slowly activating delayed-rectifier cardiac potassium current. Since I(Ks) modulates the repolarization of cardiac...
