Cardiac ion channel subunits involved in LQTS. Topological maps of the voltage-gated α-subunit for INa (SCN5A) and α/β-subunits that make up IKr (HERG–KCNE2) and IKs (KCNQ1–KCNE1) are shown in relation to a typical ventricular action potential. Genetic mutations in these subunits are responsible for types 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 of LQTS.
