Abstract

The following case series presents three different pediatric patients with SCN5A-related disease. In addition, family members are presented to demonstrate the variable penetrance that is commonly seen. Identifying features of this disease is important, because even in the very young, SCN5A disorders can cause lethal arrhythmias and sudden death.
