Abstract excerpt
Mutations of SCN5A, gene-encoding alpha-subunit of cardiac sodium channel, can cause mixed phenotypes of Brugada syndrome (BrS) and cardiac conduction diseases (CCD). We have identified a nucleotide change of SCN5A (4178T > G), which results in a nonsense mutation, L1393X, in a 36-year-old Caucasian man who presented with intraventricular conduction delays and BrS-type electrocardiogram change. To study...
