Although inhibition of the hERG channel (human ether-a-go-go-related gene) regulating the major repolarizing current in the heart, IKr (delayed inward potassium current), is the most common mechanism of QT prolongation [4, 5], it can also be caused by the drug triggered inhibition of other channels, that is, potassium (Kv7.1), sodium (
Nav1.5), or calcium (Cav1.2) [6-9].
Recent studies have demonstrated that multiple miRs are involved in the regulation of SCN5A/
Nav1.5 channel and its [beta]1/SCN1B subunit which is responsible for the fast-activating, fast-inactivating sodium current in atrial and ventricular action potentials [88].

This defect causes patients to have a disruption in bowel function, by affecting the

The
Nav1.5 a subunit is the principal component of INa channel forming the pore and all essential gating elements, which is sufficient by itself for generating INa in heterologous expression systems.
For example, Nav1.6 is the variety present at the nodes of Ranvier,
Nav1.5 is in the heart muscle, and others such as Navl.7, Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 are predominant in pain-sensing neurons.
Long QT3 syndrome results from an increase in sodium channel function due to mutation in a protein
Nav1.5 coded by the gene SCN5A.
