Abstract excerpt
The congenital short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a rare condition characterized by abbreviated rate-corrected QT (QTc) intervals on the electrocardiogram and by increased susceptibility to both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. Although mutations to multiple genes have been implicated in the SQTS, evidence of causality is particularly strong for the first three (SQT1-3) variants: these result from...
