Figure 1 Location of Different Mutations in KCNH2 Potassium Channel
Diagramatic location of 162 different mutations in the KCNH2 potassium channel involving 858 subjects. The subunit involves the N-terminus (NH3+), 6 membrane-spanning segments, and the C-terminus portion (COO–). The numbers in parentheses refer to the position of the amino acid beginning at the N-term position (1), the beginning of the transmembrane nonpore S1 to S4 sequence (398), the beginning of the transmembrane S5-loop-S6 sequence (552), the end of the transmembrane S6 sequence (657), and at the C-term end position (1,159). The open circles represent individual amino acids, the red circles indicate the missense mutations, and the blue circles indicate nonmissense mutations. The cylinders represent putative -helical segments, and the bars represent putative β-sheets.

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Cumulative Probability of First Cardiac Event
Kaplan-Meier estimate of the cumulative probability of a first cardiac event by (A) type, (B) location, and (C) topology of the mutation for all 858 subjects with genetically confirmed KCNH2 mutations. Kaplan-Meier estimate of the cumulative probability of a first cardiac event for (D) missense mutations within different locations and for (E) mutations located in the -helical domains within different locations. The numbers in parentheses reflect the cumulative event rate at that point in time.
