Abstract
Globally, cardiac channelopathies leading to electrical disorders are responsible for a significant number of sudden cardiac deaths without structural heart disease. Many genes encoding different ion channels in the heart were identified and their impairment was found to be associated with life-threatening cardiac abnormalities. KCND3, one of the genes expressed both in the heart and brain, is reported to have an association with Brugada syndrome, early-onset atrial fibrillation, early repolarization syndrome, and sudden unexplained death syndrome. KCND3 genetic screening could be a promising tool for functional studies for an understanding of the pathogenesis and genetic determinants of the above-mentioned electrical disorders.
