Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate, in a set of 93 mutation-negative long QT syndrome (LQTS) probands, the frequency of copy number variants (CNVs) in LQTS genes. BACKGROUND: LQTS is an inherited cardiac arrhythmia characterized by a prolonged heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval associated with sudden cardiac death. Recent studies suggested the involvement of duplications or deletions in the...
