in mild-to-moderate chronic heart failure, contribute to the preferential prolongation of QT interval through reducing the net outward current during the plateau of the action potential
Susceptibility
  • to QT prolongation and risk of arrhythmia or sudden death
  • to Ménière disease
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • G38S or D85N variant is involved in determining QT prolongation
  • rs2283222 located in intron 11 in KCNQ1 remained significantly associated with sudden/arrhythmic death
  • rs1805127, rs1805128, and rs17173510, in KCNE1 were found in patients with Ménière disease
  • Candidate gene
  • physical inteeraction between KCNQ1 and KCNE1 is potentially affected in some LQTS mutations
  • Marker
