Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mutations in ion channels genes are potential cause of cardiomyopathy. The SCN5A gene (sodium channel, voltage gated, type V alpha subunit gene; 3p21) belongs to the family of cardiac sodium channel genes. Mutations in SCN5A gene lead to decreased Na+ current and ion unbalance. The SCN5A gene mutations are found in approximately 2% of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and they may be potential phenotype modifiers in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The role of SCN5A gene mutations in cardiomyopathy is not fully elucidated. METHODS Three selected exons (12, 20, and 21) of the SCN5A gene in the cohort of 58 East Slovak patients with dilated and HCM were analyzed by the Sanger sequencing method in order to detect etiopathogenic mutations associated with dilated and HCM. RESULTS The mutation screening of three selected exons of SCN5A gene in the cohort of 27 DCM, 12 HCM patients, and 16 controls identified 10 missense genetic variants. Three of them (T1247I, A1260D, and G1262S), all in exon 21 of the SCN5A gene, were potentially damaging and disease-causing variants. CONCLUSION Data from this study demonstrate that SCN5A gene variants have important role in the etiopathogenesis of dilated and HCM.

Abstract
Background—
Over the past 15 years, a myriad of mutations in genes encoding cardiac ion channels and ion channel interacting proteins have been linked to a long list of inherited atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. The purpose of this study was to identify the genetic and functional determinants underlying exercise-induced polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia present in a large multigenerational family.
Methods and Results—
A large 4-generation family presenting with exercise-induced polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia, which was followed for 10 years, was clinically characterized. A novel
SCN5A
mutation was identified via whole exome sequencing and further functionally evaluated by patch-clamp studies using human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Of 37 living family members, a total of 13 individuals demonstrated ≥50 multiformic premature ventricular complexes or ventricular tachycardia upon exercise stress tests when sinus rate exceeded 99±17 beats per minute. Sudden cardiac arrest occurred in 1 individual during follow-up. Exome sequencing identified a novel missense mutation (p.I141V) in a highly conserved region of the
SCN5A
gene, encoding the Na
v
1.5 sodium channel protein that cosegregated with the arrhythmia phenotype. The mutation p.I141V shifted the activation curve toward more negative potentials and increased the window current, whereas action potential simulations suggested that it lowered the excitability threshold of cardiac cells.
Conclusions—
Gain-of-function of Na
v
1.5 may cause familial forms of exercise-induced polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias.
