KCNQ1-deficient and KCNQ1-mutant human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes for modeling QT prolongation

Abstract Background The slowly activated delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs) mediated by the KCNQ1 gene is one of the main currents involved in repolarization. KCNQ1 mutation can result in long-QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1). IKs does not participate in repolarization in mice; thus, no good model i...
