Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most of the long QT syndrome (LQTS) stems from pathogenic variants in KCNQ1, KCNH2, or SCN5A. However, ∼10%-20% of LQTS index cases remain genotype-negative. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize functionally a novel LQTS genetic substrate in a multigenerational, "genotype-negative" LQTS pedigree. METHODS: The patient was a 40-year-old woman with a history of syncope,...
