Connexin knockout provides a link to heart defects
Article Abstract:
Research on the consequences of knocking out the gene for connexin43 in fetal mice has shed light on the role of gap junctions play in the development of congenital heart disorders. The research could lead to a genetic treatment for such cardiovascular diseases as pulmonary stenosis.

Evidence of genetic heterogeneity in the long QT syndrome
Article Abstract:
A study of a large Utah family found that long QT syndrome (LQT) was linked to the Harvey ras-1 locus on chromosome 11. A study of a large Jewish family confirmed the indication of genetic heterogeneity in determining LQT.
