Long-term prognosis of patients with an SCN5A loss-of-function variant and progressive cardiac conduction disorder or Brugada syndrome.

Background: The long-term prognosis of patients with a loss-of-function variant in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A is unknown.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term arrhythmic risk in patients with an SCN5A loss-of-function variant to identify predictors of arrhythmic events.

Methods: Probands and family members with (likely) pathogenic SCN5A loss-of-function variants were retrospectively included.
