Striking In Vivo Phenotype of a Disease-Associated Human <i>SCN5A</i> Mutation Producing Minimal Changes in Vitro
9 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The D1275N SCN5A mutation has been associated with a range of unusual phenotypes, including conduction disease and dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. However, when D1275N is studied in heterologous expression systems, most studies show near-normal sodium channel function. Thus, the relationship of the variant to the clinical phenotypes remains uncertain....
