Investigating the complex arrhythmic phenotype caused by the gain-of-function mutation KCNQ1-G229D
The congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac electrophysiological disorder that can cause sudden cardiac death. LQT1 is a subtype of LQTS caused by mutations in KCNQ1, affecting the slow delayed-rectifier potassium current (IKs), which is essential for cardiac repolarization. Paradoxically, g...
