Upregulation of Functional Kv11.1 Isoform Expression by Inhibition of Intronic Polyadenylation with Antisense Morpholino Oligonucleotides

open access: yes, 2012
The KCNH2 gene encodes the Kv11.1 potassium channel that conducts the rapidly activating delayed rectifier current in the heart. KCNH2 pre-mRNA undergoes alternative processing; intron 9 splicing leads to the formation of a functional, full-length Kv11 ...

Linkage Evidence for a Two-Locus Inheritance of LQT-Associated Seizures in a Multigenerational LQT Family With a Novel KCNQ1 Loss-of-Function Mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mutations in several genes encoding ion channels can cause the long-QT (LQT) syndrome with cardiac arrhythmias, syncope and sudden death. Recently, mutations in some of these genes were also identified to cause epileptic seizures in these patients, and

Discovery of Digenic Mutation, KCNH2 c.1898A >C and JUP c.916dupA, in a Chinese Family with Long QT Syndrome via Whole-Exome Sequencing

open access: yesCardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2020
Long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is caused by an ion channel–related gene mutation, is a malignant heart disease with a clinical course of a high incidence of ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death in the young. Mutations in KCNH2 (which encodes

Whole exome sequencing in Brugada and long QT syndromes revealed novel rare and potential pathogenic mutations related to the dysfunction of the cardiac sodium channel

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Brugada syndrome (Brs) and long QT syndrome (LQTs) are the most observed “inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes” and “channelopathies”, which lead to sudden cardiac death.

Neonatal death of siblings with Uhl’s disease and KCNH2 mutation - A rare association

open access: diamondAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology
ABSTRACT Uhl’s disease is a rare disorder secondary to the uncontrolled destruction of right ventricular myocytes during the perinatal period. We present here the case of a 1-month-old child who died suddenly of Uhl’s disease, which was only diagnosed at autopsy and histological examination.

High-throughput discovery of trafficking-deficient variants in the cardiac potassium channelKCNH2: Deep mutational scan ofKCNH2trafficking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
ABSTRACTBackgroundKCHN2encodes the KV11.1 potassium channel responsible forIKr, a major repolarization current during the cardiomyocyte action potential. Variants inKCNH2that decreaseIKrcan cause Type 2 Long QT syndrome, usually due to mistrafficking to the cell surface.
