Fine-mapping and initial characterization of QT interval loci in African Americans.

Fine-mapping and initial characterization of QT interval loci in African Americans.

The QT interval (QT) is heritable and its prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden death. Most genetic studies of QT have examined European ancestral populations; however, the increased genetic diversity in African Americans provides opportunities to narrow associati...
