If you want to study more about the Long QT gene and recent articles, a very good reference is Mayo Clinic. I want to keep studying this. I pray that there’s a possibility for my children and grandchildren to wipe this heart defect out of the family line! Here is a link to some of his work:

I am reading studies which Dr. Ackerman at Mayo Clinic has done. Very interesting findings! He is a world wide expert.
Let me know and follow on this blog, if you would like to share your family stories and anything you have done in your family concerning the Long QT. I want to create a network of people who are interested, so we can help and support one another.
