Partial expression defect for the SCN5A missense mutation G1406R depends on splice variant background Q1077 and rescue by mexiletine
21 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the cardiac Na(+) channel gene SCN5A cause loss of function and underlie arrhythmia syndromes. SCN5A in humans has two splice variants, one lacking a glutamine at position 1077 (Q1077del) and one containing Q1077. We investigated the effect of splice variant background on loss of function and rescue for G1406R, a mutation reported to cause Brugada syndrome. Mutant and wild-type (WT) channels in both...
