A very rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest in children: triadin knockout syndrome.

Triadin knockout syndrome (TCOS) is a rare overlap syndrome characterized by highly malignant arrhythmias, and it is a deadly combination of long QT syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that affects primarily young children. Since lethal arrhythmias are frequently described, genetic testing is very important in these patients. Because, identification of a genetic mutation may be a guide in treatment.
