In this study we describe the generation and characterization of an human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from a long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) patient carrying the KCNQ1 c.940 G > A (p.Gly314Ser) mutation. This patient-specific iPSC line has been obtained by using non-integrational Sendai reprogramming method, expresses pluripotency markers and has the capacity to differentiate into the three germ layers and into spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs).
