Mutations in KCNQ1, KCNH2, and SCN5A are the major cause of long QT syndrome (LQTS). More than 90% of the genotyped patients have been reported to carry mutations in any of these three genes. Thanks to increasing popularity of next generation sequencer (NGS), novel CACNA1C mutations have been identified among LQTS patients without extra-cardiac phenotypes. We aimed to clarify the frequency of genotypes in LQTS...
