The Short QT Syndrome (SQTS) panel analyzes eight genes associated with this inherited cardiac channelopathy, characterized by an abnormally shortened QT interval, predisposition to ventricular tachyarrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, and a risk of sudden death. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) with detection of SNVs, indels, and CNVs, it identifies variants in genes encoding potassium and calcium ion channels responsible for accelerating cardiac repolarization. Genes included are: KCNH2, KCNJ2, KCNQ1, CACNA1C, CACNB2, CACNA2D1, CACNA1D, and SLC22A5. For a complete list of genes included in the panel, please contact Genotica.
