Video Summary

Frank's daughter has a mutation in the SCN5A gene, linked to cardiac conditions, though she shows no symptoms of long QT syndrome. Frank, who carries the same mutation, is asymptomatic with a normal cardiac exam. Given the context, and without symptomatic or ECG evidence of long QT syndrome in Frank, option B is appropriate: "he has no evidence of long QT syndrome, but further cardiac testing is required." This option allows for careful monitoring due to potential genetic risks associated with the mutation.
