Characterization of the CACNA1C-R518C Missense Mutation in the Pathobiology of Long-QT Syndrome Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Cardiomyocytes Shows Action Potential Prolongation and L-Type Calcium Channel Perturbation

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The CACNA1C-encoded cardiac L-type calcium channel (Cav1.2) is essential for cardiocyte action potential duration (APD). We previously reported the CACNA1C-p.R518C variant associated with prolonged QT intervals, cardiomyopathy, and sudden cardiac death in several pedigrees. METHODS: To characterize a patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) CACNA1C-p.R518C...
