De novo KCNQ1 mutation responsible for atrial fibrillation and short QT syndrome in utero.

OBJECTIVE We describe a genetic basis for atrial fibrillation and short QT syndrome in utero. Heterologous expression of the mutant channel was used to define the physiological consequences of the mutation. METHODS A baby girl was born at 38 weeks after induction of delivery that was prompted by bradycardia and irregular rythm. ECG revealed atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response a...

Congenital Short QT Syndrome

The Short QT Syndrome is a recently described new genetic disorder, characterized by abnormally short QT interval, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. This autosomal dominant syndrome can afflict infants, children, or young adults; often a remarkable family background of cardiac sudden death is elucidated. At electrophysiological study, short atrial and ...

Novel frameshift mutation in the KCNQ1 gene responsible for Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome

Objective(s): Jervell and Lange–Nielsen syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in KCNQ1 or KCNE1 genes. The disease is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and long QT syndrome. Methods: Here we present a 3.5-year-old female patient, an offspring of consanguineous marriage, who had a history of recurrent syncope and congenital sensorineural deafness. The patient ...

Kv7.1 (KCNQ1) properties and channelopathies.

KCNQ1 is the pore-forming subunit of a channel complex whose expression and function have been rather well characterized in the heart. Almost 300 mutations of KCNQ1 have been identified in patients and a vast majority of the described mutations are linked to the long QT syndrome. Only a few mutations are linked to other pathologies such as atrial fibrillation and the short QT syndrome. However,...

Atrial Fibrillation and Long QT Syndrome Presenting in a 12-Year-Old Girl

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is rare in the pediatric population; however, there is increasing recognition that AF can be inherited. Long QT syndrome (LQTS), likewise, can be both acquired and inherited with mutations leading to abnormalities in cardiac ion channel function. Mutations in KCNQ1 are the most common cause of LQTS. Although rare, mutations in KCNQ1 also can cause familial AF. This repo...
