TRIM21 and torsades de pointes: Accumulating evidence indicates that anti-Ro/SSA-antibodies can markedly delay the ventricular repolarization via a direct inhibitory cross-reaction with the extracellular pore region of the human-ether-a-go-go-related (hERG) potassium channel, resulting in a higher propensity for anti-Ro/SSA-positive subjects to develop LQTS and ventricular arrhythmias/TdP.
