CISMeF acronym : BRGDA1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Right bundle branch block, st segment elevation, and sudden death syndrome; Sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome; SUNDS;
Included titles and symbols : Cardiac conduction defect, nonspecific;
Description : Brugada syndrome is characterized by an ST-segment elevation in the right precordial
electrocardiogram leads (so-called type 1 ECG) and a high incidence of sudden death
in patients with structurally normal hearts. The syndrome typically manifests during
adulthood, with a mean age of sudden death of 41 /- 15 years, but occurs in infants
and children (summary by Antzelevitch et al., 2005). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Brugada
Syndrome Brugada syndrome-2 (611777) is caused by mutation in the GPD1L gene (611778).
Brugada syndrome-3 (611875) and Brugada syndrome-4 (611876), the phenotypes of which
include a shortened QT interval on ECG, are caused by mutation in the CACNA1C (114205)
and CACNB2 (600003) genes, respectively. Brugada syndrome-5 (612838) is caused by
mutation in the SCN1B gene (600235). Brugada syndrome-6 (613119) is caused by mutation
in the KCNE3 gene (604433). Brugada syndrome-7 (613120) is caused by mutation in the
SCN3B gene (608214). Brugada syndrome-8 (613123) is caused by mutation in the HCN4
gene (605206).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the sodium channel, voltage-gated, type V, alpha subunit gene
(SCN5A, 600163.0004);
