Abstract excerpt
The Brugada syndrome (BS) is characterized by ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads and sudden cardiac death. The disease is linked to mutations in SCN5A in approximately 20% of cases. We collected a large family with BS and have identified a novel intronic mutation. We performed the clinical, genetic, molecular and biophysical characterization of this disease-causing mutation. With direct sequencing...
