Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Progressive cardiac conduction disease (PCCD) is one of the most common cardiac conduction disturbances. It has been causally related to rare mutations in several genes including SCN5A, SCN1B, TRPM4, LMNA and GJA5. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, by applying targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 95 unrelated patients with PCCD, we have identified 13 rare variants in the TRPM4 gene, two of...
