Overview
Andersen-Tawil syndrome is a form of long QT syndrome. It is a rare genetic disorder, and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and has characteristic features of episodes of paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and dysmorphic features such as hypertelorism, micrognathia, and low set ears. Patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome usually present in childhood with spontaneous attacks of paralysis which may be associated with normal, high, or low potassium levels.

Overview
Historical Perspective
Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a very rare syndrome which is characterized by periodic paralysis, arrhythmias and long QT interval. Ellen Andersen was the first to describe the Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) in 1971.
Classification
Andersen–Tawil syndrome may be classified according to genetic mutations into two groups: Type 1 Andersen–Tawil syndrome and type 2 Andersen–Tawil syndrome.
