Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially lethal cardiac electrophysiologic disorder characterized by QT interval prolongation and T-wave abnormalities. At least 13 LQTS-associated genes have been reported, but the high cost and low throughput of conventional Sanger sequencing has hampered the multi-gene-based LQTS diagnosis in clinical laboratories. METHODS: We developed an NGS...
