Expression and Intracellular Localization of an <b> <i>SCN5A</i> </b> Double Mutant R1232W/T1620M Implicated in Brugada Syndrome
11 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac disorder caused by mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene, SCN5A, that leads to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. This study reports the changes in functional expression and cellular localization of an SCN5A double mutant (R1232W/T1620M) recently discovered in patients with Brugada syndrome. Mutant and wild-type (WT) human heart sodium channels (hNa(v)1.5)...
