KCNH2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human KCNH2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q36.1 and is approximately 33 kb in length. This allele, which encodes potassium voltage-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel KCNH2 protein, is involved in modulating the structure of voltage-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channels. Mutation of the gene is associated with long QT syndrome 2 and short QT syndrome 1.
