Model for long QT syndrome type 2 using human iPS cells demonstrates arrhythmogenic characteristics in cell culture
4 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is caused by functional alterations in cardiac ion channels and is associated with prolonged cardiac repolarization time and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias. Inherited type 2 LQTS (LQT2) and drug-induced LQTS both result from altered function of the hERG channel. We investigated whether the electrophysiological characteristics of LQT2 can be recapitulated in vitro using induced...
