Sodium channel β1 subunit mutations associated with Brugada syndrome and cardiac conduction disease in humans

Brugada syndrome is a genetic disease associated with sudden cardiac death that is characterized by ventricular fibrillation and right precordial ST segment elevation on ECG. Loss-of-function mutations in SCN5A, which encodes the predominant cardiac sodium channel alpha subunit NaV1.5, can cause Bru... View More
