Abstract excerpt
In a Xenopus oocyte heterologous expression system, we characterized the electrophysiology of 3 novel missense mutations of HERG identified in Japanese LQT2 families: T474I (within the S2-S3 linker), A614V, and V630L (in the outer mouth of pore-forming region). For each of the 3 mutations, injection of mutant cRNA alone did not express detectable currents. Coinjection of wild-type (WT) along with each mutant cRNA...
