Research title
Research on the genetic basis of arrhythmia syndrome
Research overview
- Aims
- Some of the fatal familial arrhythmias cause sudden death in seemingly healthy individuals. It is not easy to make a pre-symptomatic diagnosis of these diseases using only clinical examinations such as an electrocardiogram. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the cause of lethal arrhythmia and/or the genetic factors that influence its susceptibility, thereby enabling early diagnosis and selection of effective treatment methods, and preventing sudden death. If a genetic abnormality is found, it is expected that the functional abnormality can be evaluated and appropriate measures to prevent sudden death can be taken.
- Methods
- Peripheral blood cells were collected from the patients with LQTS and genomic DNAs were extracted. Fifteen causative and 85 candidate genetic loci of LQTS were targeted for the sequence analysis.
- Participants/materials
- Japanese 556 LQTS patients
