Abstract excerpt
We aimed to verify the long QT syndrome (LQTS) genotype in a family with strong evidence of LQTS type 1 (LQT1) on the basis of so far established genotype-phenotype correlations. Genetic testing for mutations in the KCNQ1 potassium channel gene revealed an A341V mutation in three generations of the family. Existing genotype-phenotype correlations were correctly predictive of the genotype in the case of this...
