Genetic screening of KCNJ8 in Japanese patients with J-wave syndromes or idiopathic ventricular fibrillation

Background: J-point elevation has been demonstrated to be associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF) and has been proposed as a cause of the J-wave syndrome (JWS). A mutation of KCNJ8, S422L, was reported as a culprit gene. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of KCNJ8 mutations in a Japa...
