In long QT syndrome (LQTS) patients, modifier genes modulate the arrhythmic risk associated with a disease-causing mutation. Their recognition can improve risk stratification and clinical management, but their discovery represents a challenge. We tested whether a cellular-driven approach could help to identify new modifier genes and especially their mechanism of action.

Abstract

In long QT syndrome (LQTS) patients, modifier genes modulate the arrhythmic risk associated with a disease-causing mutation. Their recognition can improve risk stratification and clinical management, but their discovery represents a challenge. We tested whether a cellular-driven approach could help to identify new modifier genes and especially their mechanism of action.
