Reduced current density, partially rescued by mexiletine, and depolarizing shift in activation of SCN5A W374G channels as a cause of severe form of Brugada syndrome
Abstract Background SCN5A‐related Brugada syndrome (BrS) can be caused by multiple mechanisms including trafficking defects and altered channel gating properties. Most SCN5A mutations at pore region cause trafficking defects, and some of them can be rescued by mexiletine (MEX). Objective We recently...

Objective We recently encountered symptomatic siblings with BrS and sought to identify a responsible mutation and reveal its biophysical defects. Methods Target panel sequencing was performed. Wild‐type (WT) or identified mutant SCN5A was transfected into tsA201 cells. After incubation of transfected cells with or without 0.1 mM MEX for 24–36 hr, whole‐cell sodium currents (INa) were recorded using patch‐clamp techniques. Results The proband was 29‐year‐old male who experienced cardiopulmonary arrest. Later, his 36‐year‐old sister, who had been suffering from recurrent episodes of syncope since 12 years, was diagnosed with BrS. An SCN5A W374G mutation, located at pore region of domain 1 (D1 pore), was identified in both. The peak density of W374G‐INa was markedly reduced (WT: 521 ± 38 pA/pF, W374G: 60 ± 10 pA/pF, p < .01), and steady‐state activation (SSA) was shifted to depolarizing potentials compared with WT‐INa (V1/2‐WT: −39.1 ± 0.8 mV, W374G: −30.9 ± 1.1 mV, p < .01). Incubation of W374G‐transfected cells with MEX (W374G‐MEX) increased INa density, but it was still reduced compared with WT‐INa (W374G‐MEX: 174 ± 19 pA/pF, p < .01 versus W374G, p < .01 versus WT). The SSA of W374G‐MEX‐INa was comparable to W374G‐INa (V1/2‐W374G‐MEX: −31.6 ± 0.7 mV, P = NS). Conclusions Reduced current density, possibly due to a trafficking defect, and depolarizing shift in activation of SCN5A W374G are underlying biophysical defects in this severe form of BrS. Trafficking defects of SCN5A mutations at D1 pore may be commonly rescued by MEX.https://doi.org/10.1111/anec.12828Brugada syndromemexiletinerescueSCN5Atrafficking defect |
