Abstract excerpt
Type 2 long QT syndrome (LQT2) is the second most common subtype of long QT syndrome and is caused by mutations in KCHN2 encoding the rapidly activating delayed rectifier potassium channel vital for ventricular repolarization. Sudden cardiac death is a sentinel event of LQT2. Preclinical diagnosis by genetic testing is potentially life-saving.Traditional LQT2 models cannot wholly recapitulate genetic and...
