چکیده

A novel SCN5A mutation was found in a child with congenital sick sinus disease, a Brugada-like electrocardiogram and recurrent aborted sudden death. The mutation (L1821fs/10) is a 4 base pair deletion (TCTG) at position 5464-5467 in exon 28 of the gene. The novel mutation is predicted to produce a frameshift leading to a premature stop codon after ten missense amino acids upstream that did not allow the generation of the complete protein, and probably producing an incomplete and therefore non functional protein. The resulting alteration in sodium current could explain the clinical phenotype observed in this patient.

Brugada Disease: Chronology Of Discovery And Paternity. Preliminary Observations And Historical Aspects

The Brugada disease, the last clinico-cardiologic entity described in the 20th century, initially called right bundle branch block syndrome with ST segment elevation from V1 to V2 or V3 and sudden cardiac death, is genetically determined in a dominant autosomal mode, and it affects the alpha subunit of the Na+ channel by alteration of chromosome 3 and mutation in the SCN5A gene. In clinical dia...

A Double SCN5A Mutation Underlying Asymptomatic Brugada Syndrome

Objective/Background: Patients with the Brugada syndrome who experience syncope or aborted sudden death are at high risk for recurrent lethal arrhythmias. However, the prognosis and the therapeutic approaches in asymptomatic individuals with a Brugada-type ECG (asymptomatic Brugada syndrome) are controversial. Methods/ Results: We genetically screened 30 asymptomatic probands (male 29, female 1...

Prognostic value of electrophysiologic studies in Brugada syndrome.

A decade has passed since Pedro and Joseph Brugada (1) discovered an electrocardiographic (ECG) marker for sudden cardiac death in a subset of patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads (V1 to V3) with a right bundle branch block pattern. This clinical entity, quickly recognized as the Brugada syndrome, has drawn wi...

Should patients with an asymptomatic Brugada electrocardiogram undergo pharmacological and electrophysiological testing? Patients With an Asymptomatic Brugada Electrocardiogram Should Undergo Pharmacological and Electrophysiological Testing

Brugada syndrome presents in a certain number of patients as an inherited cardiac arrhythmia disorder caused by mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A. Carriers of the disease may develop a variety of cardiac arrhythmias, including supraventricular tachycardias, atrioventricular conduction defects or block, sick sinus syndrome with atrial standstill, and ventricular tachycardia and ...

New Electrocardiographic Features in Brugada Syndrome

Brugada syndrome is a genetically determined familial disease with autosomal dominant transmission and variable penetrance, conferring a predisposition to sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias. The syndrome is characterized by a typical electrocardiographic pattern in the right precordial leads. This article will focus on the new electrocardiographic features recently agreed on by...
