Long QT syndrome presents with 2 different modes of transmission. 1 The autosomal dominant form (Romano Ward syndrome) is the most common. The rare autosomal recessive form (Jervell-Lange-Nielsen syndrome) is associated with concomitant neurosensorial deafness. Only 2 genes (KCNQ1 and KCNE1) have been linked to this form and should be suspected if consanguinity is present in the family in addition to deafness. 10The list of LQTS genes causing the autosomal dominant variant is expanding constantly, and currently totals 13 genes. 1, 10, 11 All encode for ion channel proteins or for proteins such as chaperons and modulators that regulate ion channels. Therefore, the final common consequence of LQTS mutations is the disruption of 1 or more ionic currents of the cardiac action potential, ultimately resulting in abnormally prolonged repolarization. Despite the remarkable heterogeneity
