Gain-of-function mutation in SCN5A causes ventricular arrhythmias and early onset atrial fibrillation
28 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in SCN5A, the gene encoding the α-subunit of the cardiac sodium channel (NaV1.5), are associated with a broad spectrum of inherited cardiac arrhythmia disorders. The purpose of this study was to identify the genetic and functional determinants underlying a Dutch family that presented with a combined phenotype of ventricular arrhythmias with a likely adrenergic component, either in isolation...
