| Description | We identified four novel SCN5A mutations in patients with BrS out of eighteen patients tested (22% novel positive identification). A mutation in an untranslated region of the SCN5A gene is recognized, which correlates with a severe clinical phenotype. Thus, our data stress the importance of genetic testing of noncoding regions in BrS. |
