摘要: Background— The prevalence of genetic arrhythmogenic diseases is unknown. For the long-QT syndrome (LQTS), figures ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:5000 were published, but none was based on actual data. Our objective define LQTS. Methods and Results— In 18 maternity hospitals, an ECG performed in 44 596 infants 15 25 days old (43 080 whites). with a corrected QT interval (QTc) >450 ms, repeated within 1 2 weeks. Genetic analysis, by screening 7 LQTS genes, 28 31 (90%) 14 (50%) with, respectively, QTc >470 ms or between 461 470 ms. A 451 460, 470, observed 177 (0.41%), (0.06%), (0.07%). Among genotyped infants, disease-causing mutations found 12 (43%) 4 (29%) One genotype-negative infant (QTc 482 ms) diagnosed as affected clinical grounds. family members gen...
