Unlocking the Secrets of Andersen–Tawil Syndrome: The Role of Next-Generation Sequencing in a Family With Long QT Syndrome [PDF]
Cardiology Research and PracticeBackground Andersen–Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare inheritable potassium channelopathy, accompanied by ventricular arrhythmias due to long QT intervals, muscle weakness, and dysmorphic features. Next‐generation sequencing can identify the genetic causes of the phenotype. Methods Whole‐exome sequencing (WES) was performed on a 12‐year‐old girl with long
