Background: The voltage-gated, rapid-delayed rectifier current (IKr) is important for repolarization of the heart, and mutations in the genes coding for the K+-ion channel conducting this current, i.e., KCNH2 for the α-subunit HERG and KCNE2 for the β ...

Atenolol rescues premature mortality in genetic mouse models of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy
Objective: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of premature mortality in epilepsy. Genetic studies have identified that loss-of-function (LOF) KCNH2 variants are enriched in SUDEP patients, suggesting that they may act as a ...

Caracterización de la mutación R1032W y T337S en el gen KCNH2 codificante para el canal de potasio dependiente de voltaje HERG [PDF]
"El gen KCNH2 o HERG, codifica para el canal de potasio Kv 11.1, el cual origina la corriente de potasio IKr y en los humanos tiene una importante función en la fase repolarización del potencial de acción cardiaco.

International audienceBACKGROUND: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is characterized by corrected QT interval prolongation leading to torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death. LQTS type 2 (LQTS2) is caused by mutations in the KCNH2 gene, leading to a reduction

INTRODUCTION: Sudden unexplained death account for one-third of all sudden natural deaths in the young (1-35 years). Hitherto, the prevalence of genopositive cases has primarily been based on deceased persons referred for postmortem genetic testing ...
