Abstract excerpt
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) promotes risk for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death in children and young adults. Pathogenic variants in the voltage-gated potassium channel KCNQ1 are the most frequently discovered genetic cause. Most LQTS-associated KCNQ1 variants cause loss of function secondary to impaired trafficking of the channel to the plasma membrane. There are currently no...
