Abstract excerpt
Inheritable and de novo variants in the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel, Nav1.5, are responsible for both long-QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3) and Brugada syndrome type 1 (BrS1). Interestingly, a subset of Nav1.5 variants can cause both LQT3 and BrS1. Many of these variants are found in channel structures that form the channel fast inactivation machinery, altering the rate, voltage dependence, and completeness of...
