High Incidence of Sudden Cardiac Death With Conduction Disturbances and Atrial Cardiomyopathy Caused by a Nonsense Mutation in the <i>STA</i> Gene

Abstract

EDMD caused by this mutation is characterized by atypical clinical features and incomplete penetrance of the clinical phenotype and may result in serious cardiac complications, including sudden death. Approaches to preventing possible sudden death in carriers with the STA gene mutation require further study.
