Mutation analysis of the glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase-1 like (GPD1L) gene in Japanese patients with Brugada syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Brugada syndrome is an inherited arrhythmic disorder, and mutations in the SCN5A gene, encoding cardiac sodium channels, are identified in approximately 15% of cases. A novel causative gene (glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase-1 like; GPD1L) has been reported, and in the present study, 80 unrelated Japanese patients were screened for GPD1L mutations: 1 synonymous mutation was identified, as well as 1 intronic...
