Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Defects in the cardiac sodium channel gene, SCN5A, can cause a broad spectrum of inherited arrhythmia syndromes. After genotyping of a proband who presented with syncope, the SCN5A mutant P2006A and the common polymorphism H558R were identified. OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this study was to determine whether the SCN5A-H558R polymorphism could modify the defective gating kinetics observed in the...
