A comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation, including baseline electrocardiogram, echocardiography, exercise test and 24 hr Holter monitoring at the time of clinical diagnosis and during follow\u2010up was conducted on 24 patients referred to our departments. Phenotypical examination and diagnosis were performed by expert clinical geneticists. The entire <jats:italic>PTPN11<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>RAF1<\/jats:italic> coding regions were screened for mutations by DHPLC analysis, followed by sequencing. Patients without <jats:italic>PTPN11<\/jats:italic> mutations (34%) showed a higher frequency of family history of sudden death (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007), increased left atrial dimensions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.05), bradyarrhythmias (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04), episodes of supraventricular tachycardias (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.06), atrial fibrillation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.009), and nonsustained ventricular tachycardias (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.05) during Holter monitoring. Six patients (25%) had adverse cardiac events during follow\u2010up (including sudden deaths, resuscitated cardiac arrest, septal myectomy, and heart failure). LVH, New York Heart Association Class, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and nonsustained ventricular tachycardias were associated to adverse cardiac events. Of note, three patients with mutations in exon 13 showed a severe obstructive cardiomyopathy, with serious cardiac complications during follow\u2010up (heart failure, septal myectomy, and sudden death). In conclusion, patients with LVH associated with LS seem to carry a relatively high risk of adverse (arrhythmic and nonarrhythmic) events. Further genotype\u2013phenotype studies are warranted to fully elucidate the impact of the genotype on the natural history of patients with LS and LVH. \u00a9 2008 Wiley\u2010Liss,
