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 کاملTorsades de pointes: Should ECG be taken from all patients before surgery? A case report
Torsades de pointes is a rare but potentially lethal arrhythmia which mainly occurs in the setting of a prolonged QT interval. ECG is a reliable tool to detect such abnormalities, routinely taken from all patients over 40 who undergo surgery. We describe the case of a 35-year-old woman with torsades de points arrhythmia after hysterectomy surgery. Most likely, our patients had long QT syndro...
متن کاملNovel frameshift mutation in the KCNQ1 gene responsible for Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome
Objective(s): Jervell and Lange–Nielsen syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in KCNQ1 or KCNE1 genes. The disease is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and long QT syndrome. Methods: Here we present a 3.5-year-old female patient, an offspring of consanguineous marriage, who had a history of recurrent syncope and congenital sensorineural deafness. The patient ...
متن کاملAssessment for congenital long QT syndrome.
A 29-year-old male presented for an evaluation of his risk for having congenital long QT syndrome. Despite being asymptomatic and having a normal QTc interval on the resting ECG, a suggestive family history was an indication for a thorough cardiac evaluation. A geneticist reviewed this workup and recommended against genetic testing. While up to 10% of affected carriers of a congenital long QT s...
متن کاملبررسی QT طولانی در کودکان مبتلا به کری مادرزادی: گزارش کوتاه
Background: Long QT syndromes (LQT) are genetic abnormalities of ventricular repo-larization, with an estimated incidence of about one per 10000 births. It is characterized by prolongation of the QT interval in electrocardiogram (EKG) and associated with a high risk for syncope and sudden death in patients. Type of this syndrome is association with congenital deafness. Our objective was to eval...
