Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac arrhythmia that follows autosomal dominant transmission and can cause sudden death. This paper reported a case of Brugada syndrome in a 43-year-old male patient with no clinical symptoms. Brugada-type 2-ECG changes were accidentally detected. Flecainide test was done and proved positive. Gene analysis revealed a novel missense mutation in the SCN5A gene with a genetic variation of D252N. This novel mutation has not been reported on any genetic databases related to Brugada syndrome. Functional protein analysis software suggested that the mutation occurs in the highly conserved gene and probably has a damaging effect. This is the first Brugada syndrome case reported with a mutation in the SCN5A gene in Vietnam.

Introduction Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare subtype of migraine with transient hemiplegic aura. Patients and methods We describe three unrelated families with familial hemiplegic migraine type II (FHM2). Retrospectively, information on 47 family members could be obtained, 15 by personal examination and 32 by indirect anamnesis from relatives. Genetic analyses were performed in 13 patients. Results One family had a novel missense mutation in the ATP1A2 gene (c.659C>T, p.Ser220Leu) that segregated with the phenotype in three generations. Two further unrelated families with different ethnic backgrounds (one from Germany and one from Russia) had a missense mutation that has not been described as yet in FHM, but occurred in only a single patient with sporadic hemiplegic migraine (c.2723G>A, p.Arg908Gln). Clinically the patients had severe attacks lasting up to several weeks as well as epileptic seizures. Three patients with a proven mutation in the ATP1A2 gene clinically presented without hemiparesis. Furthermore, there was a possible relation of FHM2 to mental retardation in another two patients. Conclusion Clinical symptoms may last for several weeks in some patients. Patients with FHM2 may also present without hemiplegia. Therefore, the full family history has to be taken into account to establish the diagnosis of FHM.

Background ATP1A2 has been identified as the genetic cause of familial hemiplegic migraine type 2. Over 80 ATP1A2 mutations have been reported, but no data from Chinese family studies has been included. Here, we report the first familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 Chinese family with a novel missense mutation. Methods Clinical manifestations in the family were recorded. Blood samples from patients and the unaffected members were collected for whole-exome sequencing to identify the pathogenic mutation. Seven online softwares (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN, PANTHER, MutationTaster2, MutationAssessor and PMut) were used for predicting the pathogenic potential of the mutation. PredictProtein, Jpred 4 and PyMOL were used to analyze structural changes of the protein. The mutation function was further tested by Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Results All patients in the family had typical hemiplegic migraine attacks. Co-segregation of the mutation with the migraine phenotype in four generations, with 10 patients, was completed. The identified novel mutation, G762S in ATP1A2, exhibited the disease-causing feature by all the predictive softwares. The mutation impaired the local structure of the protein and decreased cell viability. Conclusion G762S in ATP1A2 is a novel pathogenic mutation identified in a Chinese family with familial hemiplegic migraine, which causes loss of function by changing the protein structure of the Na+/K+-ATPase α2 subunit.

Brugada syndrome is an inherited autosomal dominant disease that cause sudden death, which related with mutation of SCN5A gene, ? subunit of sodium channel. The risk Brugada syndrome in male is 8 times more than females. The average age is 40 years old, which can happen between age 1 to 77 years old. The Incidence is 5 to 66 per 10.000 people. The golden diagnostic tools is ECG, an abnormality QRS-T found in lead V1-V3. I report a case of Brugada syndrome with neither sign nor symptoms. The disease coincidental in routine medical examination.

Background: Episodic ataxia type 2 (OMIM 108500) is an autosomal dominant channelopathy characterized by paroxysms of ataxia, vertigo, nausea, and other neurologic symptoms. More than 50 mutations of the CACNA1A gene have been discovered in families with episodic ataxia type 2, although 30%–50% of all patients with typical episodic ataxia type 2 phenotype have no detectable mutation of the CACNA1A gene. Case: A 46-year-old Caucasian man, with a long history of bouts of imbalance, vertigo, and nausea, presented to our hospital with 2 weeks of ataxia and headache. Subsequent evaluation revealed a novel mutation in the CACNA1A gene: c.1364 G > A Arg455Gln. Acetazolamide was initiated with symptomatic improvement. Conclusion: This case report expands the list of known CACNA1A mutations associated with episodic ataxia type 2.

AbstractFrontometaphyseal dysplasia (FMD) type 2 is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities and caused by MAP3K7 mutation. We identified a novel missense mutation in TAB2 associated with FMD in a child with multiple congenital malformations. This case was diagnosed as FMD due to joint contractures and bone deformities. This is the third report of FMD caused by a TAB2 mutation located in the TAK1-binding region.

SummaryGenetic materials from 16 unrelated Japanese patients with von Willebrand disease (vWD) were analyzed for mutations. Exon 28 of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) gene, where point mutations have been found most frequent, was screened by various restriction-enzyme analyses. Six patients were observed to have abnormal restriction patterns. By sequence analyses of the polymerase chain-reaction products, we identified a homozygous R1308C missense mutation in a patient with type 2B vWD; R1597W, R1597Q, G1609R and G1672R missense mutations in five patients with type 2A; and a G1659ter nonsense mutation in a patient with type 3 vWD. The G1672R was a novel missense mutation of the carboxyl-terminal end of the A2 domain. In addition, we detected an A/C polymorphism at nucleotide 4915 with HaeIII. There was no particular linkage disequilibrium of the A/C polymorphism, either with the G/A polymorphism at nucleotide 4391 detected with Hphl or with the C/T at 4891 detected with BstEll.
