Novel <i>SCN5A</i> p.W697X Nonsense Mutation Segregation in a Family with Brugada Syndrome

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is marked by an elevated ST-segment elevation and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Variants in the <i>SCN5A</i> gene are considered to be molecular confirmation of the syndrome in about one third of cases, while the genetics remain a mystery in about half of...
