Abstract excerpt
1. Long QT syndrome (LQT) is an electrophysiological disorder that can lead to sudden death from cardiac arrhythmias. One form of LQT has been attributed to mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) that encodes a voltage-gated cardiac K+ channel. While a recent report indicates that LQT in some patients is associated with a mutation of HERG at a consensus extracellular N-linked glycosylation site...
