Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanistic link between an inherited and an acquird cardiac arrthytmia: HERG encodes the IKr potassium channel
TL;DR: The finding that HERG encodes IKr channels provides a mechanistic link between certain forms of inherited and acquired LQT, and that an additional subunit may be required for drug sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular basis for cardiac arrhythmia: HERG mutations cause long QT syndrome
Mark E. Curran,Igor Splawski,Katherine W. Timothy,Vincent Gm,Eric D. Green,Keating Mt,Keating Mt +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated patients with long QT syndrome (LQT), an inherited disorder causing sudden death from a ventricular tachyarrythmia, torsade de pointes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positional cloning of a novel potassium channel gene: KVLQT1 mutations cause cardiac arrhythmias.
Qing Wang,Mark E. Curran,Igor Splawski,Timothy C. Burn,J. M. Millholland,T. J. VanRaay,Jiaxiang Shen,Katherine W. Timothy,Vincent Gm,Vincent Gm,T. De Jager,Peter J. Schwartz,J.A. Towbin,Arthur J. Moss,Donald L. Atkinson,Gregory M. Landes,Timothy D. Connors,M T Keating +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, positional cloning was used to establish KVLQT1 as the chromosome 11-linked LQT 1 gene responsible for the most common inherited cardiac arrhythmia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coassembly of K(V)LQT1 and minK (IsK) proteins to form cardiac I(Ks) potassium channel.
Michael C. Sanguinetti,Mark E. Curran,Anruo Zou,Jiaxiang Shen,Peter S. Spector,Donald L. Atkinson,M T Keating +6 more
TL;DR: KVLQT1 is the subunit that coassembles with minK to form IKS channels and IKS dysfunction is a cause of cardiac arrhythmia, and is shown to encode a K+ channel with biophysical properties unlike other known cardiac currents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectrum of HERG K+-channel dysfunction in an inherited cardiac arrhythmia
TL;DR: These mutations are predicted to cause a spectrum of diminished IKr and delayed ventricular repolarization, consistent with the prolonged QT interval observed in individuals with LQT.
