LQT2 activates KCNH2. 3 / 3
| 3

reach
"Like noncardiac organ phenotypes observed in other LQTS-susceptibility genes such as KCNQ1 and deafness and SCN5A and gastrointestinal symptoms, this novel LQT2-epilepsy association raises the possibility that LQT2 causing perturbations in the KCNH2 encoded potassium channel may confer susceptibility for recurrent seizure activity."

reach
"LQT2 is caused by loss of function (LOF) mutations in KCNH2 (also known as the human Ether-a-go-go-Related Gene or hERG)."

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."
