SCN5A activates LQT3. 9 / 9
| 9

reach
"LQT1, LQT2, and LQT3 are caused by mutations in KCNQ1 (LQT1), KCNH2 (LQT2), and SCN5A (LQT3), which account for approximately 90% of genotyped LQTS patients."

reach
"Mutations in SCN5A on chromosome 3p21, encoding the human heart voltage gated sodium-channel alpha-subunit, cause LQT3."

reach
"LQT1 and LQT2 are caused due to mutations in the potassium channel genes, KCNQ1 (OMIM # 607542) and KCNH2 (OMIM # 152427) respectively, while LQT3 is caused by mutations in a sodium channel gene, SCN5A (OMIM # 600163) XREF_BIBR."

reach
"LQT3 is caused by gain of function mutations in SCN5A 4 and increased I Na current during the plateau and late phase of the action potential (AP)."

reach
"For instance, mutated Cav3 disrupts SCN5A function causing LQT3 and arrhythmias."

reach
"LQT3 is caused by defects in the voltage dependent sodium channel gene SCN5A."

reach
"Among them most common are LQT1, LQT2, and LQT3, caused by mutations in KCNQ1, KCNH2, and SCN5A genes, respectively (Splawski etal."

reach
"Gain-of-function mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene Scn5a can cause long QT syndrome 3 (LQT3) and arrhythmic death by torsades de pointes (TdP)."

reach
"LQT3 is caused by mutations in the gene SCN5A, which encodes the alpha-subunit for the sodium channel."
