Mutations in the principle cardiac sodium channel, NaV1.5, that cause long QT Syndrome variant 3 (LQT-3) confer distinct biophysical properties on expressed channels that allows mutation-specific targeting as a therapeutic approach. Here, in addition to the impact of specific Na+ channel mutations on drug actions, the impact of complex patient-specific genetics on target selectivity will also be discussed using data generated from inducible pluripotent stem cells derived from a LQT-3 family.
