Cross Sectional Study of Prenatal Diagnosis Uptake Among Individuals With Genetic Conditions
ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal diagnostic genetic testing allows for early identification of significant fetal conditions and enables informed decision‐making regarding management options. The aim of this study was to assess prenatal testing practice among individuals with genetic conditions.

CONGENITAL LONG QT SYNDROME MASKED BY AQUIRED LONG QT SYNDROME
Some patients with acquired long QT syndrome (LQTS) represent an incomplete form of congenital LQTS in which a mutation or polymorphism in one of the LQTS genes is clinically inapparent until the patient is exposed to a particular drug or other predisposing factor.

Physiological Basis of Sex Differences in Human Performance and Exercise‐Associated Pathology
ABSTRACT The presence of sex differences in human physical performance is well‐established and shaped by distinct endocrine, anatomical and physiological mechanisms. Despite sustained advances, our understanding of how inherent biological factors drive variations in exercise capacity and related pathologies is still developing.

Jervell and Lange-Nielson Syndrome masquerading as intractable epilepsy
The long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cause of syncope and sudden death. Jervell and Lange-Nielson syndrome (JLNS) is an uncommon form of LQTS, having autosomal recessive transmission, and is associated with congenital deafness.

Association of the NOS1AP rs10494366 Genetic Variant With Drug‐Induced QT Prolongation
ABSTRACT Drug‐induced QTc prolongation (diQTP) is a major risk factor for torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death. This study evaluated whether carriers of the G allele of the NOS1AP rs10494366 T > G variant have greater risk for diQTP when prescribed high‐risk QT‐prolonging medications.

T-wave alternans in long QT syndrome
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a congenital disorder characterized by prolongation of QT interval in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and a propensity to develop ventricular arrhythmias, which may lead to syncope, cardiac arrest or sudden death. T-wave alternans (

[Congenital long QT syndrome].
The long QT syndrome is characterized by prolongation of the heart rate-corrected QT interval on the electrocardiogram and by the occurrence of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias of the torsade de pointes type. In most cases, the disorder becomes clinically manifest during childhood.
