This study sought to analyse\n                    <jats:italic>KCNJ2<\/jats:italic>\n                    in patients with familial ATS and to determine the functional characteristics of the mutated gene.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods and results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We screened a family with inherited ATS for the mutation in\n                    <jats:italic>KCNJ2<\/jats:italic>\n                    , using direct DNA sequencing. A missense mutation (T75R) of Kir2.1, located in the highly conserved cytoplasmic N-terminal domain, was identified in three affected members of this family. Using the\n                    <jats:italic>Xenopus<\/jats:italic>\n                    oocyte expression system and whole cell voltage clamp analyses, we found that the T75R mutant was non-functional and possessed a strong dominant negative effect when co-expressed with the same amount of wild type Kir2.1. Transgenic (Tg) mice expressing the mutated form of Kir2.1 in the heart had prolonged QTc intervals compared with mice expressing the wild type protein. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias were observed in 5 of 14 T75R-Tg mice compared with 1 of 7 Wt-Tg and none of 6 non-transgenic littermates. In three of five T75R-Tg mice with ventricular tachycardia, their ECG disclosed bidirectional tachycardia as in our proband.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The in vitro studies revealed that the T75R mutant of Kir2.1 had a strong dominant negative effect in the\n                    <jats:italic>Xenopus<\/jats:italic>\n                    oocyte expression system. It still preserved the ability to co-assemble and traffic to the cell membrane in mammalian cells. For in vivo studies, the T75R-Tg mice had bidirectional ventricular tachycardia after induction and longer QT intervals.\n
