Abstract excerpt
Congenital long QT-syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited cardiac arrhythmia, which is characterized by a prolonged QT interval which predisposes to sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias. The altered functions are based on different mutations in LQTS-associated genes. In this study, we performed a mutation analysis for the detection of 125 LQTS-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) focused on...
