INTRODUCTION: Previous studies showed that diagnosing congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is difficult due to variable penetrance and genetic heterogeneity, especially when subjects from multiple families with diverse mutations are combined. We hypothesized that a combination of clinical and ECG techniques could identify gene carriers within a single family with congenital LQTS. METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred...
