Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variants in myocardial sodium and potassium channel genes are associated with prolonged QT interval and increased risk of sudden death. It is unclear whether these genetic variants remain relevant in subjects with underlying conditions such as diabetes that are associated with prolonged QT interval. METHODS: We tested single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five candidate genes for...
