Long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2), caused by mutations in the KCNH2 gene, is an inherited ion channel disorder associated with sudden death in adolescents. In this study, we generated a patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line XXMUFAi001-A

Digenic heterozygosity in KCNQ1 and KCNH2 genes causes severe long QT phenotype
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited arrhythmic disorder associated with QT interval prolongation on ECG, syncope, torsade de pointes and sudden cardiac death in young patients. Heritable LQTS is classified in 12 types depending on mutations in a specific gene.

Association between polymorphisms in NOS3 and KCNH2 and social memory [PDF]
Social memory, including the ability to recognize faces and voices, is essential for social relationships. It has a large heritable component, but the knowledge about the contributing genes is sparse.

Anesthetic Care of a Child Harboring the KCNH2 Gene
Epilepsy is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by recurrent and generally unprovoked seizures. Genetic mutations may play an important role in the etiology of epilepsy. Over the past few years, genetic mutations in various genes have been identified in patients with epilepsy.

Reclassification of a likely pathogenic Dutch founder variant in KCNH2; implications of reduced penetrance [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Variants in KCNH2, encoding the human ether a-go-go (hERG) channel that is responsible for the rapid component of the cardiac delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr), are causal to long QT syndrome type 2 (LQTS2).

Tbx20 controls the expression of the KCNH2 gene and of hERG channels [PDF]
Significance Tbx20 is a transcription factor whose critical role in cardiogenesis is well-established. Here we functionally analyzed the electrophysiological effects produced by a mutation (p.R311C) in Tbx20 found in some affected individuals belonging to a family with long QT syndrome (an inherited cardiac ...

Preclinical efficacy and safety of KCNH2-G628S gene therapy for postoperative atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common complication occurring after cardiac surgery. Multiple studies have shown significantly increased risks of stroke, myocardial infarction, and death associated with POAF. Current prophylaxis strategies are inadequate to eliminate this problem.
