Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in SCN5A, the gene encoding the alpha-subunit of the cardiac sodium channel (Na(v)1.5), have been associated with various inherited arrhythmia syndromes, including Brugada syndrome (BrS). Here, we report the functional consequences of a novel missense SCN5A mutation, G1319V, identified in a BrS patient. The G1319V mutation is located in the loop connecting transmembrane segments 4 and 5 in...
