Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Type 3 long QT syndrome (LQT3) is the third most common form of LQT syndrome and is characterized by QT-interval prolongation resulting from a gain-of-function mutation in SCN5A. We aimed to establish a patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) model of LQT3, which could be used for future drug testing and development of novel treatments for this inherited disorder. METHODS AND...
