Abstract
The voltage-gated potassium channel KvLQT1 encoded by KCNQ1 plays an important role in the repolarization of myocardial action potentials. KCNQ1 mutations can cause Long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1), which is considered to be the most common causative gene of LQT. In this study, we established a human embryonic stem cell line KCNQ1L114P/+ (WAe009-A-79) carrying a LQT1 related mutation in KCNQ1. The WAe009-A-79 line maintains the morphology, pluripotency, and normal karyotype of stem cells, and can differentiate into all three germ layers in vivo.
