| Description | Long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1), the most often diagnosed inherited arrhythmogenic syndrome, is associated with mostly heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the KCNQ1 gene. This gene encodes structure of the alpha-subunit (Kv7.1 protein) of slow delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs), an important repolarizing current, especially during increased sympathetic stimulation. |
