Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the phenotypic variability of LQTS in carriers with the same and with different mutations in the LQT2 gene. BACKGROUND: Mutations of ion-channel genes are known to cause the long QT syndrome (LQTS), a disorder associated with distinctive genotypic-specific electrocardiographic patterns and variable clinical expression. METHODS: Clinical and electrocardiographic characteristics were...
