Evidence for genetic factors in vasovagal syncope: a twin-family study.

Neurology - 7 Aug 2012

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most frequent type of syncope and a common differential diagnosis of epilepsy. The role of genetic factors in VVS is debated. We performed a twin-family study to clarify this question and to analyze the putative mode of inheritance. METHODS: Fifty-one same-sex twin pairs where at least 1 had syncope were ascertained. The twins were interviewed via telephone using a...
