Loss-of-function mutations in the SCN5a gene coding for the human Nav1.5 cardiac sodium channel, which lead to decreased peak sodium current, are associated with cardiac conduction defects (CCD), progressive cardiac conduction disease [1] or Brugada syndrome [2]. However, despite the strong linkage of sodium channel mutations to the disease in probands, the same mutation is often found in non-affected family members. The . . . [Full Text of this Article]
