Even though the clinical diagnosis of J-LN is rather straightforward, it is important to genotype all these patients because it has been shown by Schwartz et al. [ 3 ] that the smaller group with KCNE1 mutations has a markedly less severe clinical course [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

LQTS8 Also known as Timothy syndrome (TS), patients show severe QT prolongation on their ECGs, which is combined with syndactyly, baldness at birth, and small teeth in 100% of cases and less penetrant cardiac structural malformations, mental retardation [frontiersin.org]

However, an electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a prolonged QTC (corrected QT interval) of 480 ms. Her mother was healthy and had a QTC on ECG of 460 ms, but the patient’s maternal aunt had died suddenly at five months postpartum. [eplabdigest.com]

The electrocardiogram of these patients has a prominent U wave and a normal or modestly prolonged QT interval. Although LQT7 is currently included among the sub-types of congenital long-QT syndrome, this inclusion is controversial. [geneticheartdisease.org]
