Abstract excerpt
Mutations in SCN5A are linked to Brugada syndrome in approximately 20% of all cases (BrS1). Several dozen distinct SCN5A mutations in BrS1 have been associated with the increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias. However, the genotype-phenotype relationship remains elusive. The current study analyzed the SCN5A gene to elucidate the potential variability of clinical features in Japanese BrS1 subjects. Subjects of the...
