Abstract
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is predominantly a genetic cardiac arrhythmia disorder. We report here our study on long QT syndrome from two children from Kelantan, Malaysia. Clinical and genetic findings of these two unrelated Malay children with LQTS is discussed. We found a Long QT, type 1 causal mutation, p.Ile567Thr in the KCNQ1 gene in the first child. A pathogenic mutation could not be detected in the second child, explaining the heterogeneity of this disease.
