Abstract in Portuguese
Introdução: Os benefícios dos testes genéticos em arritmias cardíacas evoluíram juntamente com os desafios na sua interpretação. Há pouca contribuição nacional na literatura mundial. O objetivo primário desse estudo foi descrever o perfil mutacional de pacientes com síndrome do QT longo (SQTL) e síndrome de Brugada (SBr) em uma instituição de referência em arritmias cardíacas. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal, observacional, unicêntrico, que incluiu 277 pacientes, sendo 158 com SQTL e 119 pacientes com SBr. Foram avaliadas as principais características clínicas e realizado o teste molecular em painel multigênico. A classificação das variantes nos genes causais foi baseada nos critérios do American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Resultados: A idade média dos pacientes foi de 32,5 anos, sendo 139/277 (50,2%) do sexo feminino. Foram submetidos à análise molecular 76/84 (90,5%) probandos com SQTL e 63/93 (66,7%) probandos com SBr. Nos probandos com SQTL foram encontradas variantes patogênicas ou possivelmente patogênicas em 67%, enquanto que na SBr foi em 20,6% (p < 0,001). Na associação genótipo-fenótipo, foi observado gatilho predominante de estresse em pacientes com SQTL1 e repouso em SQTL3. O QTc não variou entre os subtipos 1 a 3 e a taxa de eventos arrítmicos foi semelhante no seguimento (19%). Nos pacientes com SBr o valor médio do intervalo His-Ventrículo (HV) foi maior nos pacientes com variantes genéticas identificadas no SCN5A (68 x 48ms; p < 0,001). Conclusão: Foi possível a identificação do perfil genético em 46% dos pacientes com SQTL e SBr em um serviço terciário de atendimento. Há diferenças clínicas conforme o genótipo, mas sem relevância prognóstica em nosso registro. A associação genótipofenótipo permanece em investigação nas arritmias hereditárias. A utilização dos critérios do ACMG permitiu a análise das variantes nos genes principais

Abstract in English
Introduction: The potential benefits of genetic testing in cardiac channelopathies have developed along with the challenges in results interpretation. There is little national contribution in world literature. The primary objective of this study was to describe the mutational profile of patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS) and Brugada syndrome (BrS) at a reference Institution in cardiac arrhythmias. Methods: Longitudinal, observational, singlecenter study that included 277 patients, 158 with LQTS and 119 patients with BrS. The baseline clinical characteristics were evaluated and the genetic testing was performed in a multigenic panel. The classification of the variants in target genes was based on the criteria of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 32.5 years, 139/277 (50.2%) were female. A total of 76/84 (90.5%) probands with SQTL and 63/93 (66.7%) probands with SBr were submitted to genetic testing. In LQTS patients, pathogenic or possibly pathogenic variants were found in 67% of the probands and in 20.6% of BrS patients (p < 0.001). A predominant stress trigger was observed in patients with LQTS1 and events at rest in LQTS3. QTc did not vary among subtypes 1 to 3 and the rate of arrhythmic events was similar at follow-up (19%). In patients with BrS the mean value of the His- Ventricle (HV) interval was higher in SCN5A+ patients (68 x 48ms, p < 0.001). Conclusion: It was possible to identify the genetic profile in 46% of patients with LQTS and BrS in a tertiary service. There were clinical differences according to genotype, without prognostic relevance in our registry. The genotype-phenotype association remains under investigation in hereditary arrhythmias. ACMG criteria allowed variants analysis in target genes
