The regulation of TGF-β1 in cardiac death caused by variation of SCN5A gene / 中国法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The mechanism of sudden cardiac death caused by variation in SCN5A is still unclear. Recently, the converging evidences suggest that the dysfunction of regulation mediated by transforming growth factor-β1 in cardiac fibration and reconstruction of cardiac iron channel could be main reason of SUNDS caused by variation of SCN5A. The resent progress of the mechanism of transforming growth factor-β1 in sudden cardiac death caused by variation of SCN5A gene is reviewed in this paper, hoping to provide reference for the research and practice of sudden cardiac death in forensic medicine.
