Résumé
KCNE2 gene mutations have been associated with atrial fibrillation, long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome and unexplained sudden cardiac death. Herein, we describe a case of Brugada syndrome carrying an heterozygous variant in the KCNE2 gene [NM_172201.2:c.161 T > C, p.(Met54Thr, M54T)]. Gain of function of the Ito current possibly explains the Brugada ECG phenotype in this case.
