Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Genetic testing for Long QT Syndrome is now a standard and integral component of clinical cardiology. A major obstacle to the interpretation of genetic findings is the lack of robust functional assays to determine the pathogenicity of identified gene variants in a high-throughput manner. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to design and test a high-throughput in vivo cardiac assay to distinguish...
