Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drug-induced long-QT syndrome (diLQTS) is an adverse drug effect that has an important impact on drug use, development, and regulation. We tested the hypothesis that common variants in key genes controlling cardiac electric properties modify the risk of diLQTS. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a case-control setting, we included 176 patients of European descent from North America and Europe with diLQTS,...
