Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dysfunction of NaV 1.5 encoded by SCN5A accounts for approximately half of the channelopathic SIDS cases. We investigated the functional effect of two gene variants identified in the same patient, one in SCN5A and one in SCN1Bb. The aim of the study was to risk stratify the proband's family. METHODS: The family was referred for cardiovascular genetic evaluation to assess familial risk of cardiac...
