COMMENTS
At codon 1795 of the SCN5A protein two additional mutations have been reported Y1795C, associated with a LQTS phenotype and Y1795H, associated with a Brugada syndrome phenotype.
In a recent study, Veldkamp et al. assessed the effect of 1795InsD in sinus node cells and confirmed the presence of late sustained current (Ipst) and negative shift on inactivation. In a computerized model of sinus node action potential a 10-mV shift decreased sinus rate by decreasing diastolic depolarization rate, whereas Ipst decreased sinus rate by AP prolongation, despite a concomitant increase in diastolic depolarization rate. In combination, moderate Ipst (1% to 2%) and the shift reduced sinus rate by 10%. An additional increase in Ipst could result in plateau oscillations and failure to repolarize completely. These data suggest that the effects of 1795InsD on sinus node function may account for the bradycardia seen in LQT3 patients.
