Mouse Model of <i>SCN5A</i> -Linked Hereditary Lenegre’s Disease
5 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have previously linked hereditary progressive cardiac conduction defect (hereditary Lenègre's disease) to a loss-of-function mutation in the gene encoding the main cardiac Na+ channel, SCN5A. In the present study, we investigated heterozygous Scn5a-knockout mice (Scn5a+/- mice) as a model for hereditary Lenègre's disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: In Scn5a+/- mice, surface ECG recordings showed...
