SCN5A mutants associated with familial cardiac sodium overlap syndrome characterized as sick
sinus syndrome, atrial fibrillation, Brugada syndrome, and progressive conduction disease

Objective:
We identified familial arrhythmia in a Chinese family and investigated the genetic mechanisms.
Method:
Genetic analysis was conducted in the coding and splicing regions of genes susceptible for cardiac arrhythmia
diseases. A functional study of novel mutants was performed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK293).
Results:
We identified a rare double mutant of SCN5A, R965C and R1309H. R965 and R1309 residues are highly conserved
across all species. Furthermore, R965C is associated with Brugada syndrome. Compared to wild-type (WT) cells, Na+ current
density was markedly reduced by 76% in cells carrying the R1309Hmutant at membrane potentials ranging from−50mV to −10
mV. The slope of R1309H-carrying cells was significantly less steep than that of WT cells (P<0.001). Steady-state inactivation of
R1309H cells was significantly left-shifted from that of WT cells at test potentials of −100 mV to −80 mV. The voltage of half-
maximal inactivation for R1309H cells was significantly left-shifted by ~11.22 mV from that of WT cells (P<0.01).
Conclusions:
While the SCN5A R965C mutant appears solely related to Brugada syndrome, the R1309H mutant causes
significant loss of function of the Nav1.5 sodium channel, which is potentially a key mechanism underlying familial CSCOS.
