Connecting KCNQ1 mutants with clinical outcome.
PURPOSE Mutations in KCNQ1 are linked to long QT and other syndromes. This study reports a method to predict clinical outcome when a mutation at KCNQ1 is found. METHODS We used amino-acid distribution probability to measure KCNQ1 mutants, and cross-impact analysis to couple KCNQ1 mutants with clinical outcome. Then, Bayesian equation was used to calculate the probability of occurrence of long...
متن کاملzfishbook: connecting you to a world of zebrafish revertible mutants
zfishbook is an internet-based openly accessible database of revertible protein trap gene-breaking transposon (GBT) insertional mutants in the zebrafish, Danio rerio. In these lines, a monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP) is encoded by an artificial 3' exon, resulting in a translational fusion to endogenous loci. The natural transparency of the zebrafish embryo and larvae greatly facilitate...
متن کاملConnecting clinical and actuarial prediction with rule-based methods.
Meta-analyses comparing the accuracy of clinical versus actuarial prediction have shown actuarial methods to outperform clinical methods, on average. However, actuarial methods are still not widely used in clinical practice, and there has been a call for the development of actuarial prediction methods for clinical practice. We argue that rule-based methods may be more useful than the linear mai...
متن کاملHexachlorophene Is a Potent KCNQ1/KCNE1 Potassium Channel Activator Which Rescues LQTs Mutants
The voltage-gated KCNQ1 potassium channel is expressed in cardiac tissues, and coassembly of KCNQ1 with an auxiliary KCNE1 subunit mediates a slowly activating current that accelerates the repolarization of action potential in cardiomyocytes. Mutations of KCNQ1 genes that result in reduction or loss of channel activity cause prolongation of repolarization during action potential, thereby causin...
متن کاملKCNE3 Truncation Mutants Reveal a Bipartite Modulation of KCNQ1 K+ Channels
The five KCNE genes encode a family of type I transmembrane peptides that assemble with KCNQ1 and other voltage-gated K(+) channels, resulting in potassium conducting complexes with varied channel-gating properties. It has been recently proposed that a triplet of amino acids within the transmembrane domain of KCNE1 and KCNE3 confers modulation specificity to the peptide, since swapping of these...
