Drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQTs) is a prevalent disorder of uncertain etiology that predisposes to sudden death. KCNE2 encodes MinK-related peptide 1 (MiRP1), a subunit of the cardiac potassium channel I-Kr that has been associated previously with inherited LQTS, Here, we examine KCNE2 in 98 patients with drug-induced LQTs, identifying three individuals with sporadic mutations and a patient with sulfamethoxazole-associated LQTs who carried a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) found in approximate to 1.6% of the general population. While mutant channels showed diminished potassium flux at baseline and wild-type drug sensitivity, channels with the SNP were normal at baseline but inhibited by sulfamethoxazole at therapeutic levels that did not affect wild-type channels. We conclude that allelic variants of MiRP1 contribute to a significant fraction of cases of drug-induced LQTs through multiple mechanisms and that common sequence variations that increase the risk of life-threatening drug reactions can be clinically silent before drug exposure.
