Mutations in a human cardiac Na+ channel gene (SCN5A) are responsible for chromosome 3-linked congenital long QT syndrome (LQT3). Here we characterized a de novo missense mutation (R1623Q, S4 segment of domain 4) identified in an infant Japanese girl with a severe form of LQT3. When expressed in oocytes, mutant Na+ channels exhibited only minor abnormalities in channel activation, but in contrast to three previously characterized LQT3 mutations, had significantly delayed macroscopic inactivation, Single channel analysis revealed that R1623Q channels have significantly prolonged open times with bursting behavior, suggesting a novel mechanism of pathophysiology in Na+ channel-linked long QT syndrome.
