Using HEK293T cells expressing Kv7.1 channel subunits (KCNQ1/KCNE1) and patch‐clamp electrophysiology, we demonstrated that LQTS‐associated CaM variants reduced current density at systolic Ca2+ concentrations (1 μm), revealing a direct QT‐prolonging modulatory effect. This evidence concerns the gene KCNQ1 and familial long QT syndrome.
