Brugada syndrome 1

Brugada syndrome 1 is a condition that affects the heart's rhythm and can lead to serious complications. It is defined as any Brugada syndrome in which the cause is a mutation in the SCN5A gene. This condition has been linked to a range of heart conduction issues described by various synonyms including BRGDA1, Brugada syndrome type 1, and sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome. People with this condition often have an abnormal electrical activity in their heart. The term 'Brugada syndrome' is used to refer to a group of disorders that result from genetic changes, and in Brugada syndrome 1, the specific mutation in the SCN5A gene plays a key role in the development of the disease.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Brugada syndrome 1 is caused by a mutation in the SCN5A gene. This gene plays an important role in the way the heart's electrical system functions. Although the exact triggers for the development of symptoms are not fully understood, the genetic mutation is the primary cause identified in this condition.
