Abstract excerpt
Congenital Long QT Syndrome types 1 and 2 (LQT1 and LQT2) are caused bymutations in the KCNQ1 and KCNH2 genes, responsible for the IKs and IKr currents, respectively. However, the penetrance of these mutations is highly variable, since some carriers remain asymptomatic, while others exhibit severe clinical manifestations. To elucidate how physiological variability in other cardiac ionic currents may influence the...
