Genetic testing in survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) with a suspicious cardiac phenotype is considered clinically useful, whereas its value in the absence of phenotype is disputed. We aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of genetic testing in survivors of SCA with or without cardiac phenotype. Sixty unrelated SCA survivors (median age: 34 [interquartile range 20 to 43] years, 82% male) without coronary artery disease were included: 24 (40%) with detectable cardiac phenotype (Ph(+)SCA) after the SCA event and 36 (60%) with no clear cardiac phenotype (Ph(-)SCA). The targeted exome sequencing was performed using the TruSight-One Sequencing Panel (Illumina). Variants in 185 clinically relevant cardiac genes with minor allele frequency
