Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variants of SCN5A, encoding cardiac sodium channel, have been linked to the development of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aimed to explore novel SCN5A variants in patients with idiopathic DCM (iDCM) and to identify the distribute characteristics and pathological mechanisms as well as clinical phenotypes associated with the variants in patients with iDCM. METHODS: SCN5A exons sequencing was performed...
