Lack of association between coding region of KCNE2 gene and the congenital long QT syndrome in an Iranian population
Introduction: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac disorder characterized by QT interval prolongation at basal ECG. Different LQTS genes encode ion channel subunits or proteins involved in regulating cardiac ionic currents. Long QT syndrome type 6 (LQT6) is caused by mutation in the KCNE2 gene. Our research aimed to analyze genetic variants of KCNE2 gene causing the disease in Irania...
متن کاملThe congenital long QT syndrome Type 3: An update
Congenital long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3) is the third in frequency compared to the 15 forms known currently of congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). Cardiac events are less frequent in LQT3 when compared with LQT1 and LQT2, but more likely to be lethal; the likelihood of dying during a cardiac event is 20% in families with an LQT3 mutation and 4% with either an LQT1 or an LQT2 mutation. LQT3 is ...
متن کاملLong QT Syndrome: An Emerging Role for Inflammation and Immunity
The long QT syndrome (LQTS), classified as congenital or acquired, is a multi-factorial disorder of myocardial repolarization predisposing to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, particularly torsades de pointes. In the latest years, inflammation and immunity have been increasingly recognized as novel factors crucially involved in modulating ventricular repolarization. In the present paper...
متن کاملDiagnostic criteria for the long QT syndrome. An update.
T he idiopathic long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a congenital disease with frequent familial transmission, characterized primarily by prolongation of the QT interval and by the occurrence of life-threatening tachyarrhythmias, particularly in association with emotional or physical stress.1-5 Among untreated symptomatic patients, lethality is high, with 20% mortality in the first year after the initial...
متن کامل25th anniversary of the International Long-QT Syndrome Registry: an ongoing quest to uncover the secrets of long-QT syndrome.
Today, it is exceptional to find a major cardiology congress without a session devoted to the long-QT syndrome (LQTS), but it was quite different 25 years ago when the minuscule knowledge about LQTS was paralleled only by the minute number of investigators interested in what seemed to be little more than a medical oddity. Partly by chance, the two of us had actually and independently developed ...
