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]
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

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

iPSCORE: A Resource of 222 iPSC Lines Enabling Functional Characterization of Genetic Variation across a Variety of Cell Types. [PDF]
Large-scale collections of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could serve as powerful model systems for examining how genetic variation affects biology and disease.

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

Quercetin is a foe in the heart by targeting the hERG potassium channel [PDF]
Objective(s): Quercetin is a plant flavonoid known for its pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. However, there is limited information available regarding its potential toxicities.

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