Overexpression of KCNJ2 in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes for the assessment of QT-prolonging drugs

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2017
Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes hold great potentials to predict pro-arrhythmic risks in preclinical cardiac safety screening, although the hiPSC cardiomyocytes exhibit rather immature functional and structural ...

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitors Regulate Ischemic Arrhythmia by Targeting MicroRNA-1

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Background: Soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEHis) inhibit the degradation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) in cells, and EETs have antiarrhythmic effects.

Pierre Robin sequence may be caused by dysregulation of SOX9 and KCNJ2 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Genetics, 2007
Background: The Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), consisting of cleft palate, micrognathia and glossoptosis, can be seen as part of the phenotype in other Mendelian syndromes—for instance, campomelic dysplasia (CD) which is caused by SOX9 mutations—but the aetiology of non-syndromic PRS has not yet been unravelled.

Potassium channel gene mutations rarely cause atrial fibrillation

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2006
Background Mutations in several potassium channel subunits have been associated with rare forms of atrial fibrillation. In order to explore the role of potassium channels in inherited typical forms of the arrhythmia, we have screened a cohort of patients

Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

Genome-wide association analysis identifies six new loci associated with forced vital capacity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Forced vital capacity (FVC), a spirometric measure of pulmonary function, reflects lung volume and is used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases. We performed genome-wide association study meta-analysis of FVC in 52,253 individuals from 26 studies and ...

Mutations specific to the Rac-GEF domain of TRIO cause intellectual disability and microcephaly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Neurodevelopmental disorders have challenged clinical genetics for decades, with over 700 genes implicated and many whose function remains unknown. The application of whole-exome sequencing is proving pivotal in closing the genotype/phenotype

Novel KCNJ2 Mutation in Familial Periodic Paralysis With Ventricular Dysrhythmia [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2002
Background — Mutations in the KCNJ2 gene, which codes cardiac and skeletal inward rectifying K + channels (Kir2.1), produce Andersen’s syndrome, which is characterized

Altered microRNA and target gene expression related to Tetralogy of Fallot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in guiding development and maintaining function of the human heart. Dysregulation of miRNAs has been linked to various congenital heart diseases including Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), which represents the most ...

Modelling the effects of chloroquine onKCNJ2-linked short QT syndrome

open access: yesOncotarget, 2017
A gain-of-function KCNJ2 D172N mutation in KCNJ2-encoded Kir2.1 channels underlies one form of short QT syndrome (SQT3), which is associated with increased susceptibility to arrhythmias and sudden death. Anti-malarial drug chloroquine was reported as an effective inhibitor of Kir2.1 channels. Using biophysically-detailed human ventricle computer models,
