GENomE wide analysis of sotalol-induced IKr inhibition during ventricular REPOLarization, "GENEREPOL study": Lack of common variants with large effect sizes.

GENomE wide analysis of sotalol-induced IKr inhibition during ventricular REPOLarization, "GENEREPOL study": Lack of common variants with large effect sizes.

Many drugs used for non-cardiovascular and cardiovascular purposes, such as sotalol, have the side effect of prolonging cardiac repolarization, which can trigger life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias by inhibiting the potassium-channel IKr (KCNH2). On the electrocardiogram (ECG), IKr inhibition induc...
