Using patient DNA cells to study inherited heart rhythm risks
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses your blood or genetic information to make “iPS cells,” lab-grown cells that can help researchers study inherited heart rhythm problems like LQTS, Brugada syndrome, CPVT, or early repolarization syndrome. It may help improve understanding of why these rhythms happen and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (and any family members joining) must be at least 18 years old
- You must have an inherited heart rhythm condition such as LQTS, Brugada syndrome, CPVT, or early repolarization syndrome
- You must have already had clinically indicated genetic testing
- You must be 85 years old or younger
- You cannot be pregnant
- You should not have serious illnesses expected to limit life
- You must not have a weakened immune system

This study is building a Canadian database and tissue/blood bank for people and families with inherited heart rhythm conditions (and some inherited heart muscle diseases). It collects consented health and genetic information to help researchers better understand who is at risk and how these conditions work.
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.
This study looks at how proteins that connect heart cells are distributed in people with inherited heart rhythm disorders (and some family members who may carry the gene). It aims to better understand the biology behind these conditions, which may help improve risk assessment and future care.
This study is a heart rhythm registry for people with inherited conditions that can cause abnormal heart beats. By collecting health and testing information, researchers hope to better understand these conditions and improve care.
This study looks at the risk of a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) in people with genetic heart muscle diseases. It tests whether having a specific genetic change affects the success of a heart ablation procedure.
This study looks at how children with certain genetic heart rhythm problems, like long QT syndrome, respond to exercise. It may help doctors understand how to better manage these conditions.
