Identification of a novel KCNQ1 mutation in a large Saudi family with long QT syndrome: clinical consequences and preventive implications.

abstract：:Finding the genetic determinants of intermediate quantitative traits, such as serum creatinine and urea, might aid in finding the determinants of disease phenotypes, such as renal failure, that are, in part, defined according to threshold values imposed upon such traits. We evaluated the association between common var...
