Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We identified 2 compound heterozygous mutations (p.D1690N and p.G1748D) in the SCN5A gene encoding cardiac Na(+) channels (Nav1.5) in a proband diagnosed with Brugada syndrome type 1. Furthermore, in the allele encoding the p.D1690N mutation, the p.H558R polymorphism was also detected. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the functional properties of the mutated channels as well as the...
