Description
we performed a functional analysis of the BrS familial rare variant NM_198056.2:c.3673G>A (NP_932173.1:p.Glu1225Lys), which has been never functionally characterized before in a cardi-ac-relevant context, as the human cardiomyocyte. Using a specific lentiviral vector encoding a GFP-tagged SCN5A gene carrying the specific c.3673G>A variant and CMs differentiated from control PSCs (PSC-CMs), we demonstrated an impairment of the mutated Nav1.5, thus suggesting the pathogenicity of the rare BrS detected variant.
