Abstract excerpt
AIMS AND BACKGROUND: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is a cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The frequency of mutations in disease-causing genes ranges, on average, between 16 and 48% in SCD cases. This study aimed to identify novel mutations in IVF patients without KCNQ1, KCNH2, and SCN5A mutations using whole-exome sequencing (WES). METHODS: Genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples...
