Presenter Disclosure Information Ilan Goldenberg, MD Risk of Life-Threatening Cardiac Events in Patients with Genotype-Confirmed Long-QT Syndrome and a Normal-Range QTc DISCLOSURE INFORMATION The following relationships exist related to this presentation: The LQTS Registry is supported by research grants HL-33843 and HL-51618 from the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
CURRENT STATUS • 12 identified LQTS genotypes (>500 mutations) • Most frequent clinical types (LQT1-3): • LQT1 (43%) • LQT2 (45%) • LQT3 (7%) • LQT4-12 make up less than 5% of cases J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
LQTS Phenotype • Expressed by: • QTc: • QTc ≥450 msec • Events: • syncope, aborted cardiac arrest, SCD J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Clinical Course and Risk Stratification Studies comprised mainly LQTS pts with QTc ≥450 msec Clinical factors (QTc duration, age-gender interactions) in this population No specific data regarding clinical course and risk factors in LQTS pts with normal QTc (referred to as: phenotype-negative LQTS or concealed LQTS) J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Mutation-Specific Risk Factors in LQTS KCNQ1 Moss et al. Circulation 2007 SCN5A
Study Hypothesis • We hypothesized that genetic factors and mutation characteristics may help identify high-risk LQTS patients who do not exhibit the phenotypic QTc prolongation of the disease J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Study Purpose Assess the risk of life-threatening events among LQT1-3 pts with normal-range QTc Identify specific clinical and genetic risk factors for life-threatening cardiac events in this population J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Study Population: Inclusion Criteria • 3,386 genotyped subjects from proband identified LQT1-3 families • International LQTS Registry: • US (n=2630) • Denmark (n=90) • Italy (n=28) • Israel (n=25) • Sweden (n=17) • Netherlands’ LQTS Registry (n=391) • Japanese LQTS Registry (n=205) J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Study Population: Exclusion Criteria • >1 LQTS identified mutation • JLN with deafness or one known KCNQ1 mutation and congenital deafness • No identified mutation on genetic testing with a prolonged QTc (>440 msec) [ J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Phenotype Characterization • Unaffected family members (n=1525): • Negative for a known LQTS mutation with QTc ≤440 msec • LQTS and normal-range QTc (n=469): • Positive for a known LQT1-3 mutation with QTc ≤440 msec • LQTS and prolonged-QTc (n=1392): • Positive for a known LQT1-3 mutation with QTc >440 msec. J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Outcome Measures • Primary end point: • Aborted cardiac arrest (ACA) or sudden cardiac death (SCD). • Prespecified candidate clinical and genetic risk factors: • Gender • Qtc duration • Genotype • Mutation location/type (transmembrane-missense [TM-MS] vs. others) • Family history of SCD J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Baseline Characteristics P < 0.05 J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59

Multivariate Analysis: Total Population* *Adjusted for gender and time-dependent beta-blocker therapy J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Multivariate Analysis: Risk Factors for ACA/SCD* *All findings were further adjusted for time-dependent beta-blocker therapy and family history of sudden cardiac death J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59

Probability of ACA/SCD in LQTS Pts with Prolonged QTc by Mutation Location/Type J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Conclusions • Carriers of the LQT1-3 genotypes exhibit a wide QTc distribution • 25% have normal-range QTc • Rate of ACA or SCD in Gen+/QTc≤440 msec • Relatively low (4% from birth through age 40 yrs) • >10-fold risk increase compared with unaffected family members J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
Clinical Implications Risk assessment among phenotype-negative family members of LQTS probands should include genetic testing, Genetic data may be used to identify phenotype-negative patients with increased risk for fatal ventricular tachyarrhythmias LQTS patients with a normal-range QTc and a high-risk profile (i.e. LQT1 and LQT3 with TM-MS mutations) should receive similar management as phenotype-positive LQTS patients LQTS patients with a normal-range QTc and a low risk profile (i.e. concealed LQT2 and non-transmembrane-missense LQT1 and LQT3) may need of only preventative health recommendations such as QT drug avoidance.

Clinical Implications • Distinct predictors of life-threatening event among LQTS pts with normal and prolonged QTc: • LQTS with normal-range QTc: • Genotype: LQT1, LQT3 • Mutation characteristics (location/type) • LQTS with prolonged QTc: • Gender • QTc duration • LQT2 J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;57:51-59
