shRNAs Targeting a Common <i>KCNQ1</i> Variant Could Alleviate Long-QT1 Disease Severity by Inhibiting a Mutant Allele

Long-QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) is caused by mutations in <i>KCNQ1</i>. Patients heterozygous for such a mutation co-assemble both mutant and wild-type <i>KCNQ1</i>-encoded subunits into tetrameric Kv7.1 potassium channels. Here, we investigated whether allele-specific inhibit...
