Why the study?
Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited arrhythmia with a high risk of sudden cardiac death, but its complex genetic etiology remains to be fully elucidated.

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals that clinically relevant mutations in Brugada syndrome converge on ion transport pathways in cardiomyocytes.
Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited arrhythmia with high risk of sudden cardiac death. We present the findings for a molecular convergence of clinically relevant mutations and identification of a single-cell transcriptome-derived cardiac cell types that are associated with the etiology of BrS. Our study suggests that genomic and proteomic hotspots in BrS converge into ion transport pathway and cardiomyocyte as a major BrS-associated cell type that provides insight into the complex genetic etiology of BrS.
