Comparative Study
Association between KCNQ1 genetic variants and QT interval in a Chinese population.
There is a close link between electrocardiographic ventricular repolarization QT parameters and Type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of QT-related and diabetes-related variants in KCNQ1 on QT interval in a Chinese population. ⋯ Our findings indicate that KCNQ1 is associated with QT interval in a Chinese population with normal glucose regulation.
