Long QT syndrome – Bench to bedside
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiovascular disorder characterized by an abnormality in cardiac repolarization leading to a prolonged QT interval and T-wave irregularities on the surface electrocardiogram. It is commonly associated with syncope, seizures,

Prevalence of the Congenital Long-QT Syndrome
Background— The prevalence of genetic arrhythmogenic diseases is unknown. For the long-QT syndrome (LQTS), figures ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:5000 were published, but none was based on actual data.

Suppression-Replacement KCNQ1 Gene Therapy for Type 1 Long QT Syndrome.
Background: Type 1 long QT syndrome (LQT1) is caused by loss-of-function variants in the KCNQ1-encoded Kv7.1 potassium channel α-subunit which is essential for cardiac repolarization, providing the slow delayed rectifier current (IKs).
