This is the expanded panel for Long QT Syndrome (LQTS). We also offer a core panel which includes 6 less genes genes (11 genes in total). See test details for the Long QT Syndrome (LQTS)- Core Panel.
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited heart rhythm problem, characterised by QT prolongation and T wave abnormalities on an ECG that are associated with tachyarrhythmias, most typically the ventricular tachycardia torsade de pointes (TdP).
The prevalence of LQTS is estimated to be 1 in 2,500 and occurs across all ethnic groups.
Approximately 75% of LQTS cases are caused by pathogenic variants in one of 17 known genes, most frequently with autosomal dominant inheritance, though there are also recessive forms.
