BACKGROUND: Two genetic variants in SCN5A, encoding the Nav1.5 Na+ channel α-subunit, were found in a 5-month-old girl who died suddenly in her sleep. The first variant is a missense mutation, resulting in an amino acid change (Q1832E), which has been described (but not characterized) in a patient with Brugada syndrome. The second is a nonsense mutation that produces a premature stop codon and a C-terminal...
