Overview

The diagnosis of Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is suspected in individuals with either A or B:

Diagnostic Study of Choice

A Criteria

  1. Periodic paralysis
  2. Cardiac arrhythmias which are supposed to be symptomatic or positive U-waves or a prolonged QTc or QUc interval on ECG.
  3. Unique facial characteristics, dental problems and distinctive skeletal features, with 2 of the following which include:

B Criteria

  • Along with one of the above three criteria AND at least one of the other family member who meets two of the three criteria should be considered for further gene testing in patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS).

Molecular genetic testing

  • Once the phenotypic diagnosis is established and comprehensive genetic testing should be the next step in the diagnosis of Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) patients to detect KCNJ2, KCNJ5 gene mutations which can be achieved by the following:[5][6]
    • Gene-targeted testing
      • Gene-targeted testing which includes single-gene testing and multigene panel
    • Comprehensive genomic testing
      • Comprehensive genomic testing which includes exome sequencing and genome sequencing.
