Abstract excerpt
AIMS: NOS1AP single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) correlate with QT prolongation and cardiac sudden death in patients affected by long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1). NOS1AP targets NOS1 to intracellular effectors. We hypothesize that NOS1AP SNPs cause NOS1 dysfunction and this may converge with prolonged action-potential duration (APD) to facilitate arrhythmias. Here we test (i) the effects of NOS1 inhibition and...
