Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: FHFs (fibroblast growth factor homologous factors) are key regulators of sodium channel (NaV) inactivation. Mutations in these critical proteins have been implicated in human diseases including Brugada syndrome, idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias, and epileptic encephalopathy. The underlying ionic mechanisms by which reduced Nav availability in Fhf2 knockout (Fhf2KO) mice predisposes to abnormal...
