This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will provide $195,000 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate the cellular mechanisms by which Long QT Syndrome Type 2 (LQTS2)-associated KCNH2 gene variants disrupt neuronal function. The research aims to define the mechanistic link between HERG1 potassium channel dysfunction and neuronal hyperexcitability, which has been observed in LQTS2 patients who develop epilepsy at a higher rate. The project will utilize gene-edited and patient-derived human stem cell-derived neurons to elucidate the molecular and cellular impacts of LQTS2-associated KCNH2 variants on neuronal physiology. This work will provide a foundation for future R01-level funding to further explore the confluence of cardiac and neuronal electrical activity.
