Novel G1481V and Q1491H SCN5A Mutations Linked to Long QT Syndrome Destabilize the Nav1.5 Inactivation State
5 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background Na v 1.5, which is encoded by the SCN5A gene, is the predominant voltage-gated Na + channel in the heart. Several mutations of this gene have been identified and reported to be involved in several cardiac rhythm disorders, including type 3 long QT interval syndrome, that can cause sudden cardiac death. We analyzed the biophysical properties of 2 novel variants of the Na v 1.5 channel (Q1491H and...
