Protective effect of
Background KCNQ1 and KCNH2 are the two most common potassium channel genes causing long QT syndrome (LQTS), an inherited cardiac arrhythmia featured by QT prolongation and increased risks of developing torsade de pointes and sudden death.

KCNH2 Regulates the Growth and Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Objective: Due to the characteristics of insidious onset and early metastasis of pancreatic cancer (PC), patients are often diagnosed at an advanced stage and often delayed in completing surgical resection timely, resulting in poor prognosis.

Short QT Syndrome and Atrial Fibrillation Caused by Mutation in KCNH2 [PDF]
Background: The short QT syndrome is a newly described clinical entity characterized by the presence of a short QT interval associated with cardiac tachyarrhythmias including sudden cardiac death at a young age in otherwise healthy individuals. A genetic basis has been identified linking the disease to mutations in KCNH2 in the familial forms and a ...

A common polymorphism in KCNH2 (HERG) hastens cardiac repolarization [PDF]
Genetic variants of cardiac ion channels may influence cardiac repolarization. Thereby such variants may modulate the penetrance of primary electrical disorders, contribute to differences in susceptibility to drug-induced QT-prolongation between individuals, or contribute to rhythm disturbances in the context of structural heart disease.

The Kv11.1 potassium channel encoded by the Kcnh2 gene is crucial in conducting the rapid delayed rectifier K+ current in cardiomyocytes. Homozygous mutation in Kcnh2 is embryonically lethal in humans and mice. However, the molecular signaling pathway of intrauterine fetal loss is unclear.

Loss‐of‐function variants in Kv11.1 cardiac channels as a biomarker for SUDEP
Objective To compare the frequency and impact on the channel function of KCNH2 variants in SUDEP patients with epilepsy controls comprising patients older than 50 years, a group with low SUDEP risk, and establish loss‐of‐function KCNH2 variants as ...

Integrated analysis of the voltage-gated potassium channel-associated gene KCNH2 across cancers
KCNH2 encodes the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channel and is an important repolarization reserve for regulating cardiac electrical activity. Increasing evidence suggests that it is involved in the development of various tumours, yet
