Abstract excerpt
The SCN5A (sodium channel, voltage-gated, type V, alpha subunit) gene encodes the cardiac sodium channel, a member of the voltage-gated sodium channel family. The p.R1193Q (c.3578G>A) polymorphism in SCN5A is known to accelerate inactivation of the sodium channel current, and has been identified in patients with Brugada and long QT syndromes. In the present study, we investigated the frequency of the p.R1193Q...
