Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is of great importance as it is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in childhood. The diagnosis is made by the prolongation of the QTc interval on the electrocardiography. However, clinical heterogeneity and nondiagnostic QTc intervals may cause a delay in the diagnosis. In such cases, genetic tests such as next‐generation sequencing (NGS) panel analysis enable a definitive diagnosis. We present the first study that aimed to expand the LQTS's mutational spectrum by NGS panel analysis from Turkey.
