| Abstract | Long-QT syndrome (LQTS) may cause syncope and sudden death due to cardiac tachyarrhythmia. Chromosome 7-linked LQTS (LQT2) has been correlated with mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG). HERG forms voltage-gated K channels that may be associated with Mink-related peptide 1 (MiRP1), an auxiliary β-subunit. The channels mediate currents that resemble native I Kr. Mutations in the KCNE2 gene encoding MiRP1 may also cause LQTS. In this study, the frequency of mutations in KCNE2 of 150 unrelated LQTS patients without known genotype and of 100 controls was analyzed using single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct sequencing. We identified a novel missense mutation, V65 M, in the KCNE2 gene of a 17-year-old female with syncope and LQTS. Expression studies in Chinese hamster ovary cells revealed that mutant and wild-type MiRP1 co-localized with HERG subunits and formed functional channels. However, mutant HERG/MiRP1V65M channels mediated currents with an accelerated inactivation time course compared with wild-type channels. The accelerated inactivation time course of HERG/MiRP1V65M channels may decrease I Kr current density of myocardial cells, thereby impairing the ability of myocytes to repolarize in response to sudden membrane depolarizations such as extrasystoles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
