I am pleased to share this @ahajournals.bsky.social CircGen paper. It is a team effort. I hope we have provided valuable insights on how KCNH2 variant that alters splicing and causes a large in-frame deletion can lead to a dominant negative effect of Kv11.1 K+ #ionchannel function.

As my first post, I present you with a summary figure of the patch-clamp data that was used in the #KCNH2 paper but it was not actually in the paper, but I quite like it, so I published it here at Bluesky🙂

I am glad to be able to help this family to have their KCNH2 VUS reclassified to likely pathogenic by Blueprints

We have previously demonstrated that functional data can inform us about the risk associated with KCNH2-LQTS (www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...). By using the same functional data, we asked what is the utility when applied in clinical setting by collaborate with Invitae Corp to reanalyse their VUS

🚨 New in JMCC: A KCNH2 mutation alters L-type Ca²⁺ current gating in LQT2 cardiomyocytes. Estradiol corrects key Ca²⁺ current defects and shortens repolarization, yet may paradoxically preserve susceptibility to early afterdepolarizations⚡️
