Abstract excerpt
The cardiac sodium channel NaV1.5, encoded by SCN5A, generates the inward sodium current required for myocardial excitability and impulse conduction. Loss-of-function mutations of NaV1.5 have been implicated in inherited arrhythmia syndromes, including Brugada syndrome, progressive cardiac conduction disease, and congenital sick sinus syndrome. The common SCN5A polymorphism H558R has reported minor allele...
