Population

In vitro cell model expressing the novel missense mutation T65P in the PAS domain of the human potassium channel HERG

Intervention

Decreased cell incubation temperature (27 degrees C) and pharmacological agents (cisapride and E-4031)

Comparator

Wild-type HERG channels and standard incubation temperature (37 degrees C)

Outcome

Protein trafficking to the cell membrane and channel kineticssurrogate

Identifies a novel HERG mutation (T65P) causing long QT syndrome via trafficking deficiency, which can be rescued by temperature reduction or specific pharmacological agents.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Trafficking rescue of T65P HERG remains experimental; leaves open clinical applicability in LQT2.
