ABSTRACT

Hereditary sudden cardiac death syndromes comprise a wide range of diseases resulting from alteration in cardiac ion channels. Genes involved in these syndromes represent diverse mutations that cause the altered encoding of the diverse proteins constituting these channels, thus affecting directly the currents of the corresponding ions. In the present article we will briefly review how to arrive to a clinical diagnosis and we will present the results of molecular genetic studies made in Mexican subjects attending the SCD Syndromes Clinic of the National Institute of Cardiology of Mexico City.


Los síndromes hereditarios de muerte súbita cardíaca comprenden una amplia gama de enfermedades resultantes de la alteración en los canales iónicos cardíacos. Los genes implicados en estos síndromes presentan mutaciones que causan alteraciones de las diversas proteínas que constituyen estos canales y que, por lo tanto, afectan directamente a las diferentes corrientes iónicas. En el presente artículo se revisa brevemente la forma de llegar a un diagnóstico clínico de dichos síndromes y se presentan los resultados de los estudios genéticos moleculares realizados en sujetos mexicanos que asisten a la Clínica de Síndromes Hereditarios de Muerte Súbita del Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez.

ABSTRACT

A novel SCN5A mutation was found in a child with congenital sick sinus disease, a Brugada-like electrocardiogram and recurrent aborted sudden death. The mutation (L1821fs/10) is a 4 base pair deletion (TCTG) at position 5464-5467 in exon 28 of the gene. The novel mutation is predicted to produce a frameshift leading to a premature stop codon after ten missense amino acids upstream that did not allow the generation of the complete protein, and probably producing an incomplete and therefore non functional protein. The resulting alteration in sodium current could explain the clinical phenotype observed in this patient.
