Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The objective of this research was to determine the associations of candidate genetic variants withdrug-induced long QT syndrome (diLQTS) risk, an adverse effect of over 150 FDA-approved drugsthat can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This was a retrospective observational study of the genomic biobank at the University of Michigan Health System. Patients treated with a high-risk QT-prolonging drug and ECG measurements were included. The primary outcome was exaggerated prolongation of the QTc interval (i.e., >60 ms change from baseline and/or >500 ms absolute value) corrected using Bazett. We analyzed 3 genetic variants: KCNE1-D85N (rs1805128), SCN5A-G615E (rs12720452) and KCNE2-I57T (rs7415448) in the dominant genetic model. A Bonferroni-corrected p-value of 0.017 was considered statistically significant using logistic regression adjusted for clinical covariates. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In total 6,083 self-reported white patients were included (12% event rate). The adjusted odd ratio for KCNE1-D85N was 2.24 (95%CI: 1.35-3.57; p=0.0011). The adjusted odds ratio forKCNE2-I57T was 1.40 (95%CI: 0.26-5.78, p=0.662). Only 4 total patients carried the SCN5A-G615E variant, and none of the carriers had prolonged QTc. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This is the largest study of candidate genetic variants in cardiac ion channels associated with the diLQTS risk. KCNE1-D85N was associated with diLQTS risk, while KCNE2-I57T was suggestive of a potential association. KCNE1-D85N should be considered in clinical guidelines as a risk factor of diLQTS.
