Brugada syndrome 2

Brugada syndrome 2 is a rare condition that is a subtype of Brugada syndrome, where the cause of the disease is linked to a mutation in the GPD1L gene. This disorder affects the heart's electrical system and can lead to abnormal heart rhythms. The condition is identified as a specific genetic variant among Brugada syndromes, highlighting the role of gene mutations in the development of this heart disorder. The understanding of this condition is based on the identification of mutations in the GPD1L gene, which is known to affect the normal function of heart cells. People with this condition are diagnosed based on genetic findings together with clinical assessments. Further research continues to better understand how these gene changes affect the heart and to improve diagnosis and management of the condition.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Brugada syndrome 2 is caused by a mutation in the GPD1L gene. This genetic alteration is the known cause, which affects the heart’s electrical function. The mutation in the gene is the primary factor leading to the condition, classifying it specifically under Brugada syndromes with a clear genetic basis.
