NCT ID NCT02413450

First seen Jan 17, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study collects blood or skin samples from 100 adults with inherited heart rhythm disorders (like Long QT Syndrome) and healthy volunteers. Researchers will turn these samples into stem cells that can become heart cells in a dish. The goal is to better understand how these diseases work and to test potential treatments in the lab, not to directly treat participants.
