    Risk factor 
    Evidence:

    Effect:
    Functional polymorphisms in genes encoding adrenergic receptors (ADRB1, ADRB2 and ADRA2C) may contribute to an increasing arrhythmic risk in Finnish and South African LQT1 founder populations

    Title:
    Identification of a KCNQ1 polymorphism acting as a protective modifier against arrhythmic risk in long-QT syndrome.
    Species studied:
    Human
    Abstract:
    Long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is characterized by such striking clinical heterogeneity that, even among family members carrying the same mutation, clinical outcome can range between sudden death and no symptoms. We investigated the role of genetic variants as modifiers of risk for cardiac events in patients with LQTS.
