The patient is also homozygous for the two minor variants rs4657139 and rs16847548 on the NOS1AP gene, associated with greater risk for cardiac arrest and sudden death in LQTS mutation carriers of the founder population. hiPSCs, obtained using four retroviruses encoding the reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, cMYC and KLF4, display pluripotent stem cell characteristics, and can be differentiated into spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs).
