Genetics of sudden cardiac death.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Numerous cardiac diseases may cause sudden cardiac death (SCD), and a genetic basis for SCD has been established in the inherited cardiac conditions (ICCs). Previously, ICCs were thought to have a Mendelian inheritance pattern, wherein a rare pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in a known diseasecausing gene conferred risk. This inheritance model, however, could not explain a large proportion...
