BACKGROUND: The rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) is heritable, and the discovery of quantitative trait loci that influence the QTc would be an important step in identifying the genes responsible for life-threatening arrhythmias in the general population. We studied 66 pairs of unselected normal dizygotic (DZ) twin subjects and their parents in a sib-pair analysis. We tested for linkage of gene loci harboring...
