KCNH2 activates LQTS type 2. 5 / 5
| 5

reach
"LQTS type 2 (LQT2) is caused by mutations in KCNH2, which encodes the potassium channel hERG."

reach
"Mutations in hERG (also known as KCNH2), cause LQTS type 2 (LQT2) because of impaired function of the pore forming alpha-subunit of the voltage gated K v 11.1 channel, which is a key player of repolarization in cardiac cells."

reach
"LQTS type 2 (LQTS2) is caused by mutations in the KCNH2 gene, leading to a reduction of the rapidly activating delayed rectifier K + current and loss of human ether-A -go-go-related gene (hERG) channe[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"LQTS type 2 (LQT2) is caused by mutations in HERG XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Mutations in HERG, located on chromosome 7q35-q36, cause LQTS type 2 (LQT2) and represent 45% of the known LQTS defects."
