Abstract excerpt
Several genetic variants have been associated with early repolarization syndrome (ERS). However, the lack of functional validations of the mutant effects has limited the interpretation of genetic tests. In the present study, we identified and characterized a novel sodium channel, voltage gated, type V alpha subunit (SCN5A) mutation that was associated with ERS. A 67-year-old male proband suffering from recurrent...
