Abstract excerpt
Patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are becoming a valuable model for studying inherited cardiac arrhythmias. Type 1 long-QT syndrome is associated with the genetic variants of KCNQ1 gene that encodes Kv7.1, the α-subunit of the voltage-gated potassium channel QKT subfamily member 1 that channels the slow component of the outwardly rectifying K+ channel...
