Sudden cardiac death is often caused by inherited arrhythmia syndromes, particularly if it occurs at a young age. In 1996, we started a cardiogenetics clinic aimed at diagnosing such syndromes and providing timely (often presymptomatic) treatment to families in which such syndromes or sudden cardiac death existed. We studied the yield of DNA testing for these syndromes using a candidate-gene approach over our 15 years of experience.
