Mutated KCNH2 inhibits potassium(1+). 3 / 3
| 3

reach
"KvLQT1 and HERG mutations (one each) reduced K+ currents in vitro, consistent with the idea that they augment risk for aLQTS."

reach
"Furthermore, hERG mutation also impairs the potassium ion channels and induces cell apoptosis as well as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that impacts many cardiac functions [7]."

reach
"HERG mutations reduce the outward flow of potassium during repolarization and elongate the QT interval leading to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, cardiac syncope, and sudden death."
