Identical homozygous rare variant in TECRL gene lead to cardiac arrest, stress-induced atrial and ventricular tachycardia, and QT prolongation on adrenergic stimulation. This disease cell model belongs to TECRL, a mutation (331+1G>A) occur in the TECRL gene. Generating pluripotent stem cells from dermal fibroblasts, then differentiate into cardiac myocytes. This disease cell model provides a platform to explore disease mechanisms in human genetic cardiac disorders.
