Overview

Andersen-Tawil syndrome is a rare hereditary multisystem disorder transmitted in autosomal dominant pattern. Only 200 cases of Andersen-Tawil syndrome were reported worldwide.

The incidence of Andersen-Tawil syndrome is approximately less than 1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.^[1]
Only 200 cases of Andersen-Tawil syndrome were reported worldwide.
Patients who are suffering with periodic paralysis Andersen-Tawil syndrome only accounts for less than 10% of these patients.

The exact prevalence of Andersen-Tawil syndrome is unknown.
The prevalence of congenital Long QT syndrome(LQTS) is around 1 in 2000 births.^[2]

In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].

Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
Andersen-Tawil syndrome commonly affects individuals of younger age, most commonly in the first decade of life younger than 10 years.
[Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
