Many long-QT syndrome (LQTS) mutations in the cardiac Na+ channel result in a gain of function due to a fraction of channels that fail to inactivate (burst), leading to sustained current (Isus) during depolarization. However, some Na+ channel mutations that are causally linked to cardiac arrhythmia do not result in an obvious gain of function as measured using standard patch-clamp techniques. An example presented here, the SCN5A LQTS mutant I1768V, does not act to increase Isus (<0.1% of peak) compared with wild-type (WT) channels. In fact, it is difficult to reconcile the seemingly innocuous kinetic alterations in I1768V as measured during standard protocols under steady-state conditions with the disease phenotype.
