The Novel Long QT Syndrome Type 2-associated F129I Mutation in the KCNH2 Gene Significantly Affects IKr Through the hERG1 Homomeric and Heteromeric Potassium Channels

Objective:. The long QT syndrome type 2 is caused by the loss-of-function mutations in the KCNH2 gene, which encodes hERG1, the voltage-gated potassium channel. The hERG1 channels conduct rapid delayed rectifier K+ currents (IKr) in the human cardiac tissue. KCNH2 encodes 2 main isoforms—hERG1a and...
