Factors influencing uptake of familial long QT syndrome genetic testing.

American journal of medical genetics. Part A - 1 Feb 2016

Abstract excerpt

Ongoing challenges of clinical assessment of long QT syndrome (LQTS) highlight the importance of genetic testing in the diagnosis of asymptomatic at-risk family members. Effective access, uptake, and communication of genetic testing are critical for comprehensive cascade family screening and prevention of disease complications such as sudden cardiac death. The aim of this study was to describe factors influencing...
