<p>Variations in certain genomic sequences useful as genetic markers of Sudden Cardiac Death ("SCD"), or Sudden Cardiac Arrest ("SCA") risk, are described. Novel genetic markers useful in assessing the risk of SCD, or SCA, and kits containing the same are provided herein. Methods of distinguishing patients having an increased susceptibility to SCD, or SCA, through use of these markers, alone or in combination with other markers, are also provided. Further, methods of assessing the need for an Implantable Cardio Defibrillators ("ICD") in a patient are taught.</p> |
