Abstract

There exist multiple genetic polymorphisms of the LQTS-associated genes in the three distinct Asian populations. Though the functional significance of many of these SNPs is unknown, this interindividual and interethnic genetic variability may underlie the different susceptibilities of individuals to developing LQTS.
