The purpose of this study is to reveal the genetic abnormality of J wave syndrome (Brugada syndrome and early repolarization syndrome (ERS)), and to use it for the prevention and treatment of the sudden death from ventricular arrhythmias.
(1)Genetic abnormality was found in 3 of 27 patients with Brugada syndrome.
(2)Comprehensive genetic analysis was performed in 4 patients with Brugada syndrome who had no SCA5A genetic abnormality, 2 patients with ERS, and 6 patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF). Genetic abnormality was found in 2 IVF patients (SCN5A、TBX5), and new genetic abnormality was found in a ERS patient.
