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);

Prefixed ID : #192500;
