STEMOD™ LQT2 Disease Model (KCNH2, A561V)
Long-QT syndromes are heritable diseases associated with prolongation of the QT interval on an electrocardiogram and a high risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia. This disease cell model belongs to long-QT syndrome type 2, an missense mutation (A561V) occur in the KCNH2 gene. Generating pluripotent stem cells from skin fibroblasts, then differentiate into cardiac myocytes. This disease cell model provides a platform to explore disease mechanisms in human genetic cardiac disorders.
