| LQT9 | Caveolin 3 |
This newly discovered variant is caused by mutations in the membrane structural protein,caveolin-3. Caveolins form specific membrane domains calledcaveolae in which among others the NaV1.5 voltage-gated sodium channelsits. Similar to LQT3, these particular mutations increase so-called 'late' sodium current which impairs cellular repolarization.
