Abstract excerpt
AIMS: KCNQ1 mutations cause QTc prolongation increasing life-threatening arrhythmias risks. Heterozygous mutations [type 1 long QT syndrome (LQT1)] are common. Homozygous KCNQ1 mutations cause type 1 Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) with deafness and higher sudden cardiac death risk. KCNQ1 variants causing JLNS or LQT1 might have distinct phenotypic expressions in heterozygous patients. The aim of this...
