Na(+) channel mutation that causes both Brugada and long-QT syndrome phenotypes: a simulation study of mechanism.
Circulation - 12 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Complex physiological interactions determine the functional consequences of gene abnormalities and make mechanistic interpretation of phenotypes extremely difficult. A recent example is a single mutation in the C terminus of the cardiac Na(+) channel, 1795insD. The mutation causes two distinct clinical syndromes, long QT (LQT) and Brugada, leading to life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Coexistence...
