The genetic studies reveal a mis-sense mutation in KCNH2 (HERG) causes SQTS type 1. It is the most common familial variety of SQTS documented. The KCNH2 gene is located on chromosome 7q 36.1. The KCNH2 gene is often referred as HERG gene. HERG stands for the human ether-a-go-go-related gene which expresses a protein Kv11.1.

Overview

Five variants of short QT syndrome have been characterized based upon the underlying genetic mutation, the electrocardiographic phenotype, and the clinical manifestations of the variant.

Short QT syndrome type 1 (SQT1)

Type 1 SQTS is caused by a mis-sense mutation in KCNH2 gene. It is the most common familial variety of SQTS occurring in autosomal dominant pattern. The KCNH2 gene is located on chromosome 7q 36.1. The KCNH2 gene is often referred as HERG gene. HERG stands for the human ether-a-go-go-related gene which expresses a protein Kv11.1. This protein forms the alpha subunit of potassium channel responsible for rapidly activating rectifier outwards current (Ikr) [7].The genetic analysis reveal mis-sense mutation with cytosine to guanine substitution at nucleotide 1764 resulting in change in the amino acid (N588K) in KCNH2 gene. The N588K mutation appears to be the main reason for occurrence of SQTS syndrome[1]. The Bio-physical analysis reveal a gain of function mutation in IKr currents causing shortening of action potential duration and refractoriness making patients prone to re-entrant type of arrythmias [8]. The N588K mutations cause large outward currents in the ventricles sparing the Purkinje fiber system. The selective shortening of action potentials and shortening of the refractory periods in ventricles and sparing the Purkinje fibers. This differential change promotes residue favorable for reentrant arrhythmia[9].
