ABSTRACT
Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in the TECRL gene are known to be associated with recessive catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 3, which can include prolonged QT intervals (MIM#614021). We report a case of cardiac arrest in a previously healthy adolescent male in the community. The patient was found to have a novel maternally inherited likely pathogenic variant in TECRL (c.915T>G [p.Tyr305Ter]) and an additional 19-kb duplication encompassing multiple exons of TECRL (chr4:65165944-65185287, dup [4q13.1]) not identified in the mother. Genetic results were revealed via rapid whole-genome sequencing, which allowed appropriate treatment and prognostication.
