Abstract
Background—In congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS), a genetically heterogeneous disorder that
predisposes to sudden cardiac death, genetic factors other than the primary mutation may modify the
probability of life-threatening events. Recent evidence indicates that common variants in NOS1AP
are associated with the QT interval duration in the general population.
Methods and Results—We tested the hypothesis that common variants in NOS1AP modify the
risk of clinical manifestations and the degree of QT interval prolongation in a South African LQTS
population (500 subjects, 205 mutation carriers) segregating a founder mutation in KCNQ1 (A341V)2494
