Short QT Syndrome Panel

This panel is intended for individuals with a clinical diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of Short QT Syndrome (SQTS). It evaluates genes that are definitively associated with SQTS, as well as genes linked to other inherited cardiac arrhythmia disorders that may present with clinical features similar to SQTS.

Individuals with symptoms or clinical findings suggestive of SQTS may benefit from diagnostic genetic testing. Genetic testing may help to:

• Establish or confirm a clinical diagnosis
• Identify an inherited genetic cause of SQTS
• Clarify potential cardiac and arrhythmia risks
• Inform individualized medical management
• Guide appropriate monitoring and risk-reduction strategies
• Support genetic counseling and family testing

Family Testing:
Asymptomatic family members of an individual with a known pathogenic variant associated with SQTS may also benefit from targeted genetic testing. Identifying whether a family member carries the familial variant may help clarify their individual risk of developing SQTS and inform appropriate medical evaluation, monitoring, and management.

Genetic testing results may also help identify other relatives who could benefit from clinical evaluation, genetic counseling, and appropriate cardiac risk assessment.
