Description : Congenital long QT syndrome is electrocardiographically characterized by a prolonged
QT interval and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias (torsade de pointes). These cardiac
arrhythmias may result in recurrent syncopes, seizure, or sudden death (Jongbloed
et al., 1999). A form of torsade de pointes in which the first beat has a short coupling
interval has been described (613600). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Long QT Syndrome
There are other forms of LQT syndrome (LQTS) associated with mutations in various
genes encoding ion channel subunits: LQT2 (613688) is caused by mutation in the KCNH2
gene (152427), LQT3 (603830) is caused by mutation in the SCN5A gene (600163), LQT4
(see 600919) is caused by mutation in the ANK2 gene (106410), LQT5 is caused by mutation
in the;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the potassium voltage-gated channel, KQT-like subfamily, member
1 gene (KCNQ1, 192500.0001);
