Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Loss-of-function mutations in the SCN5A-encoded sodium channel SCN5A or Nav1.5 have been identified in idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) in the absence of Brugada syndrome phenotype. Nav1.5 is regulated by four sodium channel auxiliary beta subunits. Here, we report a case with IVF and a novel mutation in the SCN3B-encoded sodium channel beta subunit Navbeta3 that causes a loss of function of Nav1.5...
