Loss-of-function features in heterologously expressed hNav1.5 mutant channels, compared to wild-type hNav1.5, are highlighted (bold). F - number of affected families, P - number of patients carrying the mutation(s), I - inheritability for SSS, n.s. - not shown.
Observed only in Xenopus oocytes.
Observed only in HEK293 cells.
Reduced voltage dependency of channel inactivation, resulting in faster current decay at less depolarized potentials and slower decay at more depolarized potentials (Fig. 2F).
R1623X alone caused BrS plus SSS in another unrelated patient [31].
Atrial standstill in this patient was related to a Cx40 polymorphism [34].
