Though a rare disorder the long QT syndrome has provided invaluable insight from studies that have bridged clinical and pre-clinical basic science medicine. In this brief review we summarize some of the key clinical and genetic characteristics of this disease and highlight novel findings about ion channel structure function and the causal relationship between channel dysfunction and human disease that have come from investigations of this disorder.
