Genetic purgatory and the cardiac channelopathies: Exposing the variants of uncertain/unknown significance issue.

Heart rhythm - 1 Nov 2015

Ackerman Michael J

Abstract excerpt

Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines purgatory as "an intermediate state after death for expiatory purification" or more specifically as "a place or state of punishment wherein according to Roman Catholic doctrine the souls of those who die in God׳s grace may make satisfaction for past sins and so become fit for heaven." Alternatively, it is defined as "a place or state of temporary suffering or misery."...
