    This study reveals that complete right bundle-branch block may be an inherited genetic disorder. The condition appears to be passed down through generations in an autosomal dominant pattern.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Genetics
    • Electrocardiography

    Background:

    • Isolated complete right bundle-branch block (CRBBB) is a condition affecting the heart's electrical system.
    • Understanding the genetic basis of CRBBB is crucial for diagnosis and family screening.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the familial occurrence and inheritance patterns of isolated complete right bundle-branch block.
    • To determine if CRBBB can be classified as an autosomal genetic anomaly.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrocardiographic (ECG) examinations were performed on family members of two probands with CRBBB.
    • Pedigree analysis and historical records (parish registers) were utilized to trace family relationships.
    • Genetic inheritance patterns were assessed across three generations.

    Main Results:

    • CRBBB was identified in a significant proportion of family members (17/69 and 3/22 across two families).
    • The two families were found to be related, sharing a common ancestor from the 18th century.
    • The distribution of CRBBB within the families suggested a hereditary pattern.

    Conclusions:

    • Complete right bundle-branch block can manifest as an autosomal genetic anomaly.
    • The inheritance pattern appears to be autosomal dominant, albeit with reduced penetrance and/or expressivity.
    • This finding has implications for genetic counseling and the understanding of CRBBB etiology.
